Tiffany was an old soul with a heart of gold, loved by everyone who knew her. She had a vibrant spirit and loved going on adventures and traveling whenever she could. She was an amazing photographer, capturing beautiful memories wherever she went. A true animal lover, she found so much joy in caring for her two beloved cats, Tysie and Lily, whom she absolutely adored and spoiled.

Throughout her life, Tiffany worked across various sectors of the food industry, pouring her heart and soul into her passion for cooking. She was the proud business owner and founder of Twisted T's Food Truck. She enjoyed food truck events, where she made so many new friends, private events, and catering throughout the states.
