Tammy Gillaspy, 62, of Indianola, sadly passed away on August 24, 2025. Tammy's family is honoring her wishes and not having services.

On January 26, 1963, Tammy was born in Kansas City, Missouri.

Tammy had met the love of her life, Larry, whom she married on October 12, 1996. Sadly, after 25 years together, Larry passed away. Their time together was nothing short of amazing. The two made many memories together of working auctions while moving out of state then eventually back to Iowa.

Not only did Tammy help work auctions for the family business, but she was also a shift manager for a fast-food restaurant. She was kind and always was willing to help anyone out.

Tammy will be deeply missed by her surviving family: Judy and LaVern Larrington, Larry and Linda Gillaspy, Clayel and Lori Phillips, Ashley Phillips and Lucas Wiley (Anaiya), Ben and Johanna Phillips (Leti & Willa) and several close friends.

She was preceded in Death by her husband Larry Gillaspy Jr. and brother-in law Bill Gillaspy and several sets of Grandparents.
