Tami found her spiritual home at Aletheia Church and was a faithful member for many years. She loved reading, doing puzzles, crafting, and giving presents to her friends and family. She enjoyed going to the casino and horse racing. Most importantly, she loved spending time with her family and hosting their family get togethers.

She had a special bond with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, John and Deb Higgins and her nephew, who was like a son, Ryan Brooks.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, DeAnna Garcia; her granddaughter, Katy Beng; and a very special uncle, Louid Keith.

This saddens me as I never had someone so kind care for my girls that wasn’t family like Tami. She literally is the reason my girls were success in their lives when it came to school. My girls loved her like a grandmother and she will always hold a special place in my heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Love Madison, Payton and Keri Brunnemer
