Tamara Jean Dunn was born June 4, 1960 with an empathetic and selfless heart. She was an amazing mother, nana, sister, daughter, cat mom, and friend. But more importantly, she was a truly loving and compassionate soul. Whether taking in strays, mending wounded birds, or opening her home to others, the love that she carried radiated to all beings that were around her. She shouldered more than her share of pain with dignity, yet somehow managed to be present, giving and true to others. She was a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and our best friend. Fierce and loyal to the end, a pillar of strength and affection.

The heart of our family.

She will be missed every day and never forgotten.
