She was a graduate of Columbia City High School, received her Bachelor's Degree at Ball State University and her Master's Degree at Indiana/Purdue University.
Tammy was one of the most gracious and genuine people around, and her spirit of generosity had no equal. She was a loving, caring soul, who was patient, kind and always putting others before herself. She was devoted to her family, and she treasured her roles as mother, teacher and friend. In her spare time she was an avid reader, enjoyed traveling, being near the water, and caring for her pets.

She is survived by her mother; daughter , Sarah (Karlin) Ross; son, Colin S. Fisher ; sisters , Trudy (Curt) Miller-Longhenry and Julie (David) Casner; 5 nieces and nephews and 1 great niece.

Dear Fisher Family,
We were in total shock when we found out about Tamara's passing. I still can't believe that she is gone. She will be truly missed as a co-worker in the Greenville City School district. I don't know if you remember me, but I took care of your doggie when you all went on vacations. Just know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. God is our comfort and our strength. Much Love,
Dan,Sonja Coppess and Michelle (Coppess) Hiestand
