To know Tamra was to love her.
She had a personality bigger than life—vibrant, bold, and unapologetically herself. She was the heart of every gathering, the one who brought people together with open arms and a full table.
Tamra was the queen of entertaining. From her famous annual Christmas parties to simple Sunday dinners, she made every occasion special. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and always something delicious on the stove. She had a gift for making people feel welcomed and loved.
She was a woman of passion—whether it was decorating for the holidays, cooking a full spread for friends and family, or planning trips to her favorite spot, Carmel Beach. That was her happy place, and anyone lucky enough to go with her knows how she lit up there.
But her greatest joy, without question, was her family.
She was a loving wife to Eric, a proud mom to Alyson Michael and Chris, and the most devoted Mimi to her grandsons—Cael, Reid, and Gage. Her son-in-law Chris held a special place in her heart, and even her beloved dog Chanel, who we all know was her favorite child. Her family was her world, and she made sure they felt her love every single day.
Tamra had a fire in her. She told it like it was—honest, direct, and always with that signature flair. But behind that tough honesty was the biggest, most generous heart. She loved hard, gave freely, and never held back when it came to the people she cared about.
Tamra made an impression that will never fade. Her laugh, her energy, her loyalty—these are the things we will carry with us. We’ll miss her voice, her spirit, and the way she made every room brighter just by walking into it.
She was one of a kind, and we were lucky to love her.
