Tammy Arneson Obituary

Tammy May Arneson

April 13, 1960 - August 4, 2025

Bellingham, Washington - Tammy Arneson (née Cannon), beloved sister, daughter, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on August 4, 2025, leaving behind memories filled with laughter, love, and wild stories that only she could inspire.

Tammy had a rare gift-she was truly funny. Not just in the way she told jokes, but in how she lived: with a sharp wit, a fearless spirit, and a light heart that never got caught up in the small stuff. She lived simply, loved fully, and brought joy to everyone around her.

In her younger years, Tammy was famously wild, full of energy and adventure. She lived loudly and without apology. That same carefree spirit stayed with her throughout her life reminding the rest of us not to take things too seriously.

Tammy is survived by her mother, Carole Berry, and her sisters: Debbie Handran, Karen Cannon, Christy Smith, and Patti Goeschl. Tammy had no children of her own, she adored her nieces and nephews.

She loved the lord with all her heart.
