Tammy Sue Erebia

Tammy was born to Byrne White Jr. and Shirley Collins White on May 9, 1961 in Akron, Ohio. She grew up with her brother and sister, Perry and Becky.

She had met the love of her life, Ricardo Erebia, and the two married on October 1, 1994. The couple had three beautiful children together, Nicholas, Nathaniel, and Alexis. Tammy also had three puppies whom she cared for, Sassy, Jasmin, and Frankie.

Tammy was an inspirational individual with a strength that she shared with others through encouragement and positivity. She was a very selfless person who spent her life caring for others and being a good role model for her kids.

She impacted countless lives around her with her tenacity - while battling cancer over the past 8 years, she continued to maintain her appearance and uplifting spirit to give strength to others affected by cancer as well.

Tammy was ever thinking of others and found joy in giving. During Christmas, while being treated, she found time and strength to decorate a tree with full of gift cards for each member of the staff that had cared for her.

Survivors include her parents, Byrne and Shirley White; husband of 22 years, Ricardo Erebia; children, Nicholas, Nathaniel, and Alexis Erebia; brother, Perry White; and sister, Becky Lesher and her husband, David.

The family asks that donations be made in Tammy's honor to City of Hope National Medical Center.
