Tammy Jo Proffer

Tammy Jo Proffer, born October 8, 1961, was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose life was defined by her love for her family, her compassion, and her big heart.

Above all else, Tammy was a devoted mother. She raised her two boys as a single mother, giving them her strength, love, and everything she had. Being a mother was one of the most important parts of her life, and she deserves to be remembered for the incredible woman and mother she was. She may not have had an easy road, but she faced life's challenges with determination and a love for her children that never wavered.

Tammy had a deep love for animals. They held a special place in her heart, and her beloved dog, Bo, was a cherished part of her life. Her compassion extended beyond her family, and her love for animals was just another reflection of the caring person she was.

She leaves behind her loving sons, Justin Pickler and Jesse Proffer; her cherished grandson, Russell Jo Cunningham; and her siblings, Judy Beardsley, Chris Kolly, Larry Proffer, and Tom Proffer. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Tammy was preceded in death by her parents, Nancy and Larry Proffer, and her grandparents, Robert and Aileen Carter and Hiram and Esther Proffer.

Though Tammy's time with us has come to an end far too soon, the love she gave, the memories she created, and the lives she touched will never be forgotten. Though her family wishes they had more time, they can find comfort in knowing that the love she gave will continue through her children, her grandson, and everyone who carries a piece of her in their heart. Her family will forever hold on to the moments they shared with her, the lessons she taught them, and the love that will continue to connect with them. 

She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.

Rest peacefully, Tammy Jo. You will always be loved.
