Tammy L. Hawkins

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Tammy L. Hawkins, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, on November 13, 2024, in Alexandria, Indiana. Born on September 13, 1969, in Valparaiso, Indiana, Tammy touched the lives of all who knew her with kindness, warmth, and unwavering love.

Tammy was a vibrant and eccentric soul whose passion for art and love for animals defined her. Her magnetic personality drew people to her, and she was known for her infectious laughter and boundless energy, which made every gathering feel like a celebration.
