Tami Durling Obituary

Tami M. Durling, 40, passed away at Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville after a hard-fought battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia. She was born to David and Karen Durling in St. Augustine and was a graduate of St. Augustine High School. She served in the U.S. Air Force and earned her bachelor's degree and was two classes shy of completing her master's program. Until recently she had worked with Interrail Inc. in Jacksonville.
She was a beloved mother and daughter. She loved to cook for her family, especially making birthday cakes for her children. She also took pride in being a member of the so called "deplorables" who supported President Trump. She was loved by all who knew her.
She is survived by her mother, Karen Durling; children, Trevor Durling, Hunter Williams, David Durling and Lilah Beverly. She was predeceased by her sister, Angela Durling, and her father, David Durling.
There will be a visitation 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday at Craig Funeral Home. The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday at Craig Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Craig Memorial Park.

I miss you mom more and more everyday. You were always so sweet no matter what. And you always stuck up for yourself . You didn´t take any disrespect from anyone and I´m living up to that. Thank you for everything you did for me as a child I just sometimes wish that I got to grow up with you in my life. I Rember you promising me that you would be alive to meet the kids I´m gonna have in the future . They may not get to meet you physically but I promise I will tell them all about how you loved to bake no matter your circumstances. I miss you mom. Everyday. Gonna be 9 years without you this coming up march. Going into 10th grade you would´ve been so proud of me and the boys David is going in to the airforce .. I´m proud of him and I know you would be too. Trevor´s in collage . And Hunter is working and making good money. We all went through a really bad stage of grief but we know you´re safe and not in pain mom. I love you.
Love your daughter- lilah

Mrs. Karen and Family,

I am so sorry I can not be there during this time of heartache but know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers and I am so sorry to see Tami go and that she lost her battle. Tami is no longer in pain and is now another beautiful Angel around God's throne and she and Angie are together again as well as the girls and David. I love you all. My heart will be forever broken.

I have so many fun memories with Tami. One thing she always accomplished is she made me laugh. Her smile was contagious. She was always ready to hug your neck and tell you it will all be ok. Even though we haven't seen each other in several years we made a point to keep in contact and send each other Christmas cards and swap stories about our kids. She was a very proud mother and she loved her children so much. She always delighted in every single one of their accomplishments and their growth. She will always hold a special place in my heart. I know she will be missed by her children, her mom and all those that knew her.
