Tammy Komparda Obituary

Published by Legacy on Sep. 19, 2025.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tammy Sue Komparda, nee Stinson, 65, of Saint Charles, Illinois on May 14, 2025, after a long, courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

Tammy met the love of her life, husband, and soulmate, Bill, in 2001. They were married for 22 years, until Bill's passing on December 20, 2024.

Tammy will be remembered for being a great cook, having prepared meals for holidays, cook-outs, or a cozy dinner for two.

Tammy was known for her kindness, sense of humor, and generous spirit. She was a wonderful friend to many. All who knew her will miss her greatly.

Tammy was preceded in death by her husband, Bill (2024); parents, Charles (2004) and Evelyn (2019) Schmid; sister, Joy Schmid (1974); brother, Harold Schmid (2024); in-laws, Stanley (2021) and Bernice (1995) Komparda, as well as their fur-babies, Barney, Rusty, Butch, Timmy, and Lucky, whom they loved so much.

Survived by her sisters-in-law, Mary Komparda and Dianne Costanzo of Lake Geneva, WI; nephew Jason (Tatiane) Schmid, great nieces, Emma, Kiara, Milena, and Liliane Schmid of Idaho Falls, ID.

Graveside services to be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 11am, at Arlington Cemetery, 401 East Lake Street, Elmhurst, IL. In lieu of flowers, donations to National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, 12221 Merit Drive, Suite 1950, Dallas TX 75251 or https://p2p.onecause.com/nocc/donate, in Tammy's name would be greatly appreciated.
