The simplest pleasures in life, such as traveling to be with family and friends, going to pow wows, and making Native American jewelry. Tammy was a chief ( First Rose) for Under One Nation Tribe and touched many lives by her kindness and desire to help others. Tammy was different; her sense of humor was all over the place, If you know her ya know her. She always had to have multiple of everything. She never let too much of anything get to her. Because she would say life is too short you have to enjoy it all while you can. She was a jack of all trades. I mean there wasn't anything she couldn't do. From gardening, being a chief, an advisor to others, business owner, a friend, being creative and crafty I could go on and on. She was funny and really enjoyed life.
