Tammy J. Hignite, born on December 26, 1964, has left us to be in the loving embrace of her Heavenly Father on August 6, 2026. Tammy, whose name is synonymous with love, ambition, adventure, and compassion, was a shining star in the lives of those who had the privilege to know her. A longtime resident of Dayton, Ohio, she graced her community with her infectious laughter and unwavering kindness. Tammy was a woman who held her family close to her heart, with her daughters, Deborah Petty and Sasha Hignite, being the center of her universe. She was a beacon of love and light for her family, a tower of strength amid life's challenges. Her love for music, crafts, and cooking were the life of many family gatherings, her delicious meals and captivating tunes filling every room with joy. Tammy's favorite TV shows were a constant source of amusement and bonding, and her passion for life was an inspiration for all.
