Tami Landers Obituary
Tami was a loving mother and friend, and a devoted caregiver who found true joy in helping anyone in need. When she wasn't saving lives at the hospital, she spent her time with her family cooking, shopping, and always making the most of every moment.
She is survived by her fiancé, Joey Gurganus; two daughters, Sydni and Averi White; one sister, Mindy Sawyer (Seldon); two brothers, Wade Landers (Edwina) and Bud Cahoon; and her father, Wallace Cahoon. She was preceded in death by her mother, Carolyn Guest Cahoon.
A gathering of friends and family will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 16, 2026, at Twiford Memorial Chapel.
