Tiffany adored Marilyn Monroe and collected her memorabilia. She had a special fondness for llamas, collecting all sorts of items featuring them, from pictures to stuffed animals. A devoted fan of "The Big Bang Theory," she always laughed when someone sang the "Soft Kitty" song to her. Tiffany was highly respected at work, both by her coworkers and her patients. Above all, she cherished spending time with her family, especially her beloved sons.
