Tammy Strickland (Norman), affectionately known as "Tat, Tat," was born on March 13, 1961, in Dayton, Ohio, and passed away on August 18, 2025, at Centerville Health and Rehab. She is remembered as a loving sister to her brother, Joe Norman, known to her as "Bobo," and a proud mother to her children, Joshua Roach and Misty Roach, who were her greatest accomplishments and filled her life with joy.

Tammy graduated from Valley View High School, class of 1979, and carried with her a spirit that could light up any room. She was known for her very funny personality, quick wit, and the ability to deliver sarcasm when necessary, traits that endeared her to those around her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Violet (Simms) Norman. Her legacy will live on through her children and siblings, and brothers Joe (Melinda) Norman and Mike Norman, who will remember her fondly and carry forth her memory.

Tammy's warmth, humor, and love will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

The family will host a Celebration of Life at the Germantown Dam, the date is TBD.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
