Tammy Zastrow Obituary
She was born Nov. 2, 1983, at Galveston, Texas, to William Zastrow Jr., and Emma Sellars Zastrow. Tammy had a positive outlook on life and had a gift for finding the bright side of any situation. She loved looking for arrowheads and collecting anything out of the ordinary; she loved being outside, whether she was gardening, working a chainsaw or fixing her car. She was not afraid of hard work.
Tammy worked for several years at Spring River Lumber and enjoyed working tough jobs. She was a free spirit, unpredictable and fearless with the exception of spiders. Tammy loved to sing and dance and was known for her crazy hair styles.
She is survived by her significant other, Wendell Harris, Pottersville, Missouri; two daughters, Melanie Zastrow-Oliver and husband, Christopher Cisneros Gomez, and Samara (Katie) Valentin and significant other, Tyler Turner, all of Bakersfield, Missouri; one grandchild, Mateo Cisneros-Oliver and one on the way; her mother, Emma Zastrow, Bakersfield, Missouri; two brothers, David Zastrow, Bakersfield and William Zastrow and wife, Seana, Mountain Home, Arkansas; five sisters, Pam Guffey and husband, Junior, Bakersfield, Mary Bales and husband, Chuck, Bakersfield, Pauline Douglas and husband, Terry, Mountain Home, Patti Hicks and husband, Neal, Mountain Home and Robien Harris and husband, Cass, Pottersville, Missouri; many nieces, nephews and cousins, including one special niece, Gretchen Zastrow.
Her father, grandparents, two sisters, Debra Henson and Rebecca Zastrow and two nephews, Skyler Henson and Kyle Roberts, preceded her in death.
