It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mrs. Tammy Walden, a beloved educator who dedicated almost 30 years to shaping young minds. Tammy graduated with her master's in education at Jacksonville State University and went on to teach in the classroom, as well as work as the Librarian. Tammy is remembered by students and colleagues as a caring influence, leaving a lifelong impact on the minds and hearts of those she taught. Tammy and her husband, Adrian Walden, were faithfully married for 38 years. They both had a love of cars and went to many Corvette shows together. Alabama football was also an enjoyment they shared together. During football season, they spent Saturday's tailgating at the University of Alabama Quad or in Bryant-Denny stadium cheering on the Tide. Tammy enjoyed many things in life, but being at the beach was her favorite. She took many trips with her family and was always ready to pack her bags when her niece Olivia said, "let's go to the beach!" Tammy loved her nephew Tyler Lands and her niece Olivia Lands Shankles as her own children and had a special bond with them both. Tammy will always hold a special place in their hearts. Tammy also spent many years working with her mother, Nell Lands, at their store Heritage House Kids in Rainsville. They served their community and surrounding areas offering children's clothing and handmade hair bows. We hope that everyone joins us in remembering Tammy with the positive and happy memories that we hold dear to our hearts. We know that this is not the end, we will see her again in Heaven and now she is healed and whole. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
"Be courageous and be brave, and in my heart, you'll always stay – forever young." – Rod Stewart
