Tammy was a lifelong resident of the Wyman Fields neighborhood and a graduate of Rockland High School, Class of 1986. She attended Massasoit Community College, where she studied business. She had a knack for discovering the very best yard sales and took great pride in showing off her many treasured bargains. One of her favorite pastimes was camping with her family. A devoted animal lover, Tammy raised many schnauzers over the years and was especially proud of her current puppy, Oreo.

Tammy was currently employed as a patient administrator at Signature Healthcare in Brockton. Her career spanned more than 30 years, including positions at Harvard Vanguard, Clean Harbors, and Filene's in Boston, where she met her lifelong partner, Bob Stanton. At every job she held, she was deeply respected for her strong work ethic and dedication.

She was known for her compassion, tireless energy and her unwavering willingness to show up whenever a friend, neighbor, or family member was in need. Tammy was passionate about her family, friends and her lifelong home. Her spirited, one-of-a-kind personality and memorable antics brought laughter, warmth, and color into the lives of all who knew her.

In addition to her son Nick, Tammy is survived by Nick's father, Robert "Bob" Stanton; her beloved sister, Mary Tobin-Rosman, and her husband, Daniel Rosman; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving parents, William and Elinor Tobin, who greatly influenced the way she lived her life, and by her brothers, William Tobin and Robert Tobin.

Tammy's role as Nick's mother was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
