On Tuesday, March 10, 2015, Tammy Elizabeth (Bowen) Jones quietly passed away, surrounded by family. Her death follows an extended illness. Tammy was a loving, strong, beautiful woman. She adored being a mom, grandma, and sister. Her life was filled with walks down country roads, playing games with her children, evening conversations with her sisters and playing cards with her brothers, dancing with friends, and laughing with all.
Tammy had an adventurous soul. She traveled throughout Europe and across the United States. She valued art, experiencing other cultures, living a healthy lifestyle, and education. She was a loyal friend and dedicated employee. Tammy worked for PCC Airfoils for thirty-two years. She participated in white-water rafting, Corporate Cup events, and the Zaney Follies.
