Tammy Sue Keller, a beloved wife, friend, and community member, left us peacefully on March 27, 2026, at the age of 61. Born on November 10, 1964, in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Tammy brought her one-of-a-kind spirit to everyone who knew her. She spent her later years in Cornersville, Tennessee, where her vivacious personality and enormous heart made a lasting impact.
Tammy was a true gem—someone who could be a bit cantankerous at times, but that just added to her charm. She was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back and was always quick to lend a hand or a listening ear. Her warmth and kindness defined her relationships, and her big heart touched many lives.
A dedicated member of the Church of Christ, Tammy's faith was central to her life, guiding her in everything she did. She had a special love for her family, especially her husband, Michael Keller, who she shared countless cherished moments with.
Tammy had a passion for crafting and adored collecting holiday Barbies, each one a reflection of her whimsical personality. She was also known for her enjoyment of food—especially junk food! Whether it was heading out for a nice meal or just grabbing a snack, Tammy was always up for a culinary adventure. Music filled her life as well; she found joy in the rhythm and melodies that surrounded her.
Tammy is survived by her husband, Michael Keller, son, Brandon Wade Hayes (Lindsay), stepdaughters, Blair Keller, Lori Gillum and Chasity Crane, sister, Linda Joyce Hayes (her 2 sons), several grandchildren and great grandchildren, special caregiver Donna Haynes and numerous other extended family members. She was preceded in death by her parents, Holst and Versie Williams Begley,
