Tammy was a devoted and faithful member of the Richmond Avenue Church of Christ. She served in many areas, including the church choir, food giveaways, homecomings and homegoing services. Her dedication extended beyond these roles, as she willingly served in any capacity where she was needed until her passing.

Tammy was deeply devoted to her church, her family, and her friends. The way she loved and cared for others reflected her strong relationship with God. Her beauty, kindness, and generosity were evident to all who knew her, especially in the care and love she showed to her son, Jonathan, and her fiancé, Rev. Joe. She was always available to talk, listen, cook, assist with errands, and visit with the sick and the elderly. She lovingly taught many of her nieces how to bake her famous pound cake and was affectionately known as the “Favorite Aunt Tammy” to all her nieces and nephews.

Tammy departed this life on Friday, May 29, 2026, at Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth. She now rests in peace, free from pain, in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Mary Lou Threats and Joseph Threats; her sister, Lydia August; and Brother Billy and Sister Ethel Dews, who were fondly known to Tammy as Papa and Memaw.

Charles; her siblings, Joseph (Lori) Threats, Brenda (Don) Scurlock, Terry (Greg) Jones, and Joann (Anthony) Shankle; her Goddaughters, Victoria Scurlock and Mackenzie West; as well as special friends, Anna Powell and Jean Gaston.
