My heart is broken.  I worked with Tiffany at DLR, great support and friend.  I’m so sorry for your loss of this beautiful soul. 😥

Condolences to Tiffany's family on her sudden passing. She was a founding member of the NASA Safety Center ( and Assurance Technology Center before that)  and her expertise and knowledge no doubt contributed to the success of  both.   I had the pleasure to work with  Tiffany from 2013 to around 2018 while I was supporting the NASA Safety Center contract. She was engaging, knowledgable, helpful and always pleasant. She was such a valuable resource.  God speed to you Tiffany, wherever your next journey takes you.

I had the honor of working beside Tiffany for a little more than 3 years at NASA. She was my right hand as we managed the awards program and she was always so gracious, kind, and generous at work. I just remember celebrating wins together after working late from an awards ceremony. We were the first to arrive and the last to leave together. I will miss celebrating with you, Tiffany. I am just glad I was able to share space and time with you. Tiffany was more than a colleague to me. I’m happy we shared a connection outside of work. She was the sweetest person I know. Always caring about others and going above and beyond even when no one noticed. I pray for your family, especially your son David, whom I know you loved dearly. Praying for your strength and comfort during this difficult time. Tiffany will be forever remembered and sorely missed. I will certainly  cherish the memories we shared. Rest in peace Tiffany.

Dear  Delores and family sending my deepest condolences on the loss of your Beautiful daughter Tiffany !! You are all in our thoughts and prayers . Love cousin Yvonne  and Dominic Difino  ( Venczel)

I'm sorry for your loss. Many weekends we gathered at Ashley's home in Lorain oh.we gathered to listen to music, eat good food,and joke around.And Tiffany was pregnant. Later little David was born. Very good mom... I  will never forget those days.Good memories.

For part of Tiffany’s time as a contractor in HR at NASA GRC, I had the privilege of being her supervisor.  More than just a colleague, she was a friend.  Tiffany was always so kind and just a beautiful person inside and out.  I never heard her speak negatively about anyone.  She was smart, sweet, fun to be around, and she made everyone’s day better.  It was a joy to know her and to work with her.  She’ll always be remembered fondly.

We were very saddened to here of this family loss. Our prayers are with you Dee & Mike.

May GOD Bless your Heavenly Journey  and may HE Help Heal your Family’s Sorrow and Pain…🙏

I raised you as MY oldest daughter. I am so grateful and honored you excepted me as your second father.  🤍🪽
Love forever dad 
Rest in peace.

The most beautiful part of my life was being your mother. My 1st born. I brought you into this world, and I will send you out of this world to the paradise you deserve. 
Love your mother ALWAYS AND FOREVER 🪽🤍

Tiff was a beautiful soul with a big heart who loved deeply and wholeheartedly. She found joy and peace in the beauty of the world around her and in all animals. She loved being outdoors, especially near the lake and the water. She loved the moon, the stars, and Van Gogh sky sunsets.

More than anything in this world, Tiff loved her son, David. He was the center of her life, her greatest joy, and the person of whom she was most proud. She loved watching him grow and took tremendous pride in everything he did and the young man he was becoming. Her love for him was immeasurable, and the bond they shared will forever be a part of him.

Tiff loved with her whole heart. She loved deeply, fiercely, and without reservation. When someone held a place in her heart, they truly mattered to her. Those fortunate enough to have known Tiff will remember her warmth, her spirit, her beautiful heart, and the depth of love she gave to the people who meant the most to her.

Tiff’s life ended far too soon, but the love she gave during her 44 years will remain with those who knew and loved her. Her memory will live on in the people whose lives she touched, in quiet moments beside the water, in Van Gogh sky sunsets, and whenever the moon and stars illuminate the night sky.

Most of all, her love will live on through her son David—the person she loved more than anything in this world and of whom she was endlessly proud.

Thank you, Tiffany, for the love, the laughter, and the memories. You were deeply loved, and you will be deeply missed.

Losing my only number one sister has shattered my heart in a way I never knew was possible. 💔 I still find myself wishing this was all just a terrible dream and that I could hear your voice, see your smile, and hold you one more time. 
You weren’t just my sister—you were my person, my confidant, my protector, and one of the biggest pieces of my heart. Life will never feel the same without you. There are so many things I wish I could tell you, so many memories I wish I could relive, and so many moments I wish you were here to share and be apart of. 
I would give anything for one more conversation, one more hug, one more “I love you.” Until that day comes, I’ll carry you with me in everything I do. Your memory will live in my heart forever.
Rest peacefully, my beautiful sister. 🕊️🤍 I love you beyond words, and I will miss you for the rest of my life. You will always be my NUMBER one sister, my forever angel, and a piece of my heart that can never be replaced. 💔🕊️ You are the reason I am who I am today.. You will be with me on my wedding day looking down on me. 

Love your baby sister Rachel Tellings

My darlin Tiffany, 

Your love, while brief, was more then i could ask for. I am blessed to have gotten the time that i did with you darlin and to have the memories that i got and will cherish every one of them. Your love was able to break down my walls and show me how to be loved and love once again. You wore your heart on your sleeve, you loved hard and you never gave up on that love. I am forever grateful to have met you and to have had you in my life. I will miss our sunset conversations, walks on the beach, sitting in the car at the pier eating subway, walking downstairs to the smell of your breakfast, your Julia Roberts Laugh, our late night kitchen adventures or late night conversations and everything in between. You and I were each others person in love. We could calm each others storms simply by holding one another. Love is patient, love is kind. Thank you for letting me be there for you. I will never forget you and what you brought to this world darlin.

These are just a few words i would Describe you as Tiffany. There are so many that you can be used to define you: Strong, Brave, Caring, Loving, Smart, Beautiful, Selfless, but the most important one to me ..... ADORABLE <3 

I love you My Darlin Tiffany, Forever and Always

When I think of Tiffany, I think of how it was always me and her. Through thick and thin, no matter what life brought our way, we always stayed together. She was my sister, but she was also my person.

One of the things I will always remember is how much she loved being outside at the lake. There was something about being there that seemed to calm her soul. We would sit outside, light palo santo, and have those late-night talks about life, our memories, our hopes, and everything in between.

Those moments may have seemed simple at the time, but they mean everything to me now. I will forever cherish the bond we shared, the time we spent together, and the memories we made. No matter where life took us, it was always me and Tiffany—and that will always be a part of my heart.

I had the honor of working with Tiffany for several years in the NASA Glenn HR office. She was such a kind-hearted and wonderful person. She would talk nonstop about her son, and it was always clear how much love and pride she had for him. Tiffany brought warmth and kindness to everyone around her, and she will be deeply missed. I am blessed to have known and worked with her.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked with Tiffany at the Ohio Aerospace Institute years ago.  She was such a beautiful person.  She will be greatly missed.  God be with you.

I only have wonderful memories of Tiffany. We shared work place and our Great Dane stories and  son David memories.  She was such an animal supporter. Loved her son David from day he was born and such a proud mother. Hard worker and a strong women. All I know she has touched many life’s and was respected and loved by all. RIP my sweet beautiful  friend. God Bless and keep you.🙏❤️

David III,

I worked with your Mother, and she was a wonderful and kind person to me.  May her legacy of love and kindness continue to live on in you.

Tiffany was so kind and generous. She had a heart of compassion for God’s creatures.
May she rest in peace.

I am so very sorry for your loss. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Im so sorry for your loss. I keep thinking about family things we all did together.  I have no words. She is at peace now. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Im just heartbroken for all of you. Love you all and praying for you.
