Tammy Lee Andersen was born on July 14, 1971, in Sioux City, IA, to Richard Andersen and Patricia Burke.
Tammy was known for her big heart and her open door. Being a caregiver wasn’t just something she did; it was who she was. Throughout her life, Tammy devoted herself to caring for children, where countless lives were nurtured by her patience, kindness, and gentle spirit. Her home was a place of comfort, laughter, and love.
Tammy found joy in the simple things – thrifting at Goodwill, watching her favorite TV shows like Maury, The Masked Singer, and Family Feud, and spending time surrounded by her family and friends. Above all else, Tammy’s greatest joy was her grandchildren. Her love for them was endless, unconditional, and proudly spoken about any chance she got.
Those who knew Tammy speak of her kindness, her warmth, and the way she made people feel. Her love lives on in the many lives she touched and in the family she cherished so deeply.
Those left to honor Tammy’s memory include her children, Ashley (Carl) Andersen;, Austin (Kerly) Johnson, and Aisha Andersen; her eight beloved grandchildren, Zavaiya A., Jasiah A_J., J’Kahri A., Zowie A., Jeremiah J., Jazmayiah J., Jalayiah J., and Jamailiah J.; her parents, Patricia Burke and Richard Andersen; and her siblings, Todd Andersen and Thomas Andersen.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the love, prayers, and support shown during this time.
