In 2001, she began working with the St. William's Foster Care and continued doing so until 2010. Tammy loved fishing, playing bingo, reading, playing on the computer, gambling, going for long drives and listening to country music. Tammy was always very proud of her family. Family and friends were very important to her and there was nothing she enjoyed more than spending time with them.
