Tami was the owner / manager at Medical Financial Services in Macomb.  She also took great pride in her work at McDonough District Hospital. Tami worked hard and had a profound joy for her work, her whole life.  She enjoyed watching NASCAR, getting her nails done, taking country cruises, storm chasing, traveling, especially to the beach.  She also enjoyed watching crime scene movies and TV shows. But most of all she enjoyed cooking for her family and friends, her world famous meatloaf, broccoli cheese casserole, and biscuits and gravy.

Tami was always the first to lend a hand to everyone that was in her life.  Most of all Tami loved her fur babies, her family and her unsweetened Iced Tea with 3 sugars.
