Tamara Sue Sanner

In loving memory of Tamara Sue Sanner, daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, loving wife and friend to many who loved her. Tammy was born in San Bernardino, CA on August 17th, 1966 to Ralph Gene and Peggy Sue Smith Carter. Tammy married Jarvis Leroy Sanner on April 23rd, 1985 in Parker, SD. Tammy was a loving mother to Heidi Beth Sanner and Lisa Anne Sanner and a proud grandmother to Silas Leroy Sanner. Tammy has 4 sisters who will love her forever and always. Sandra Lynn Carter Simon (Bettendorf, IA), Laura Anne Carter Self (Saginaw, TX), Pamala Gene Carter (USAF Osan, South Korea), Maria Diane Carter Mroczek (USAF Spokane, WA). Tammy loved to cook, play bingo, go camping and spend her free time with her family. Most of all, she loved taking care of her grandson, Silas, who she adored with all her heart. Tammy worked as a Registered Nurse for many years and took much pride in caring for others which was one of her many strengths. Tammy was the most caring, loving and giving angel on Earth anyone could ever know with a heart that could touch many who met her. Tammy had a strong faith in God and fully believed all was possible through Him. Tammy was our angel on Earth and now an angel with our Father in heaven. We will miss you terribly, Tammy, but we will see you again. A special thank you from the Carter family to Kerry Utberg, Tammy's mother-in-law, for being such a kind and gentle friend to Tammy over the years.
