Tamera "Tammy" Jean Smith was born on January 8, 1959, in Creighton, NE to Vernon Smith and Ellen (Repenning) (Smith) Warriner. Tammy spent her childhood growing up on the family farms in the Bloomfield and Creighton areas. Tammy graduated high school from Creighton Public Schools in 1977.

Upon graduation, Tammy moved to Norfolk where she lived for 23 years. In 1989, Tammy was blessed with the birth of her son, Joshua. In 2000, Tammy and Josh moved to Lynch, NE. In 2019, the Spencer Dam flood tragically damaged most of Lynch, NE and shortly after the flood Tammy moved to O'Neill, NE.

Tammy spent the last few years of her life in a close-knit community and developed friendships she truly cherished. Tammy had the gift to gab and socialize. Her greatest pride and joy were her son, Josh, and great nieces and nephews.

In her free time, she enjoyed reading and doing puzzles with her friends. Tammy spent countless hours crocheting blankets to welcome new babies to her own family, as well as those of her friends. Her stories and laughter will be missed by many.
