Tammy Jean Howland was born on October 6, 1970, in Des Moines, Iowa. She was the daughter of Jerry and Earla (Meier) Howland. Tammy was raised in Rolfe and graduated from Rolfe High School in 1989.

Survivors include her son, Jeremiah Howland of Des Moines; daughter, Jacey Braunschweig of Laurens; her beloved fur-baby, Velvet, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
