She was a member of St. Margaret’s Catholic Church where she was an active member and also taught CCD, as well as being very active in her community overall. Through her long and courageous battle with her disease, she never wavered in her faith in God and was a great inspiration to all through her bravery and will to live for her kids and family. Despite her condition and the trips to the Mayo clinic for treatments, she never complained. Many across the state were touched by her inspirational story through newspaper articles and various fundraisers. One of which being the homemade “Tami Scarves” that were sold around the area, which helped spread her heroic testimony. She touched a great many lives through her love and bravery; she will be missed by all who knew her.
