Tammy was born March 26,1959 in Oshkosh, the daughter of John (Jack) III and Roneale Schein. On December 12, 1980 she married her beloved husband, Mark, of 28 years in Oshkosh, WI. Tammy enjoyed so many things in her life. A good game of poker, a cold beer by the pool, friends gathering at her counter top, yatzee and scrabble were among her favorites. Raising dogs, horses, gardening, traveling with friends, weekends at the cottage and knowing her husband waited at the end of each day to share the days events meant so much to her. Her children grandchildren brought a sparkle to her eyes every time she saw them or spoke of them. Tammy enjoyed her successful retail career spanning over the past 30 years. Although,as her daughter said "She probably bought more than she ever sold." She started her career at Sears in the paint and hardware department and continued as manager of Carters, Bugle Boy, and Casual Corner. During her recent illness Tammy was managing J.

God looked around His garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful. He only takes the best.
He knell' that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road getting rough and the hills "were hard to climb.
So closed your weary eyelids and whispered, ''Peace be thine ".
It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you the day God took you home.
If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane, We'd walk a path to heaven to be with you again.
