She was born on August 30, 1960, in Des Moines, Iowa to her parents, Roger and Donna Spencer.

She worked many years at Mayo Clinic and ended her career working for Grapetree as a traveling nurse before retiring in 2019 due to her cancer diagnosis.

She was a member of the Eastern Star in Northwood. Tammy’s true passion was being a foster mom to Papillon dogs. She also enjoyed sewing, baking, cooking, and gardening. She loved to help people, especially through catering meals. 

Tammy is survived by his husband, Jerry Pineau; and many friends she met along her journey.
