A lifetime resident, Tammy was born in Racine on August 28, 1963. A 1981 graduate of Washington Park High School, she proudly went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from UW-Oshkosh. As a young teenager when they were in junior high school, Tammy and Troy C. Collier began their loving relationship. They were married on August 25, 1984. A true workaholic, Tammy tirelessly was employed by Famous Recipe, One Price Clothing and Payless Shoe Store, working up to the day her failing health would no longer allow. A woman of strong faith, she was a devoted member of Abundant Life Christian Ministries under the leadership of Pastors Elliott and Josette Cohen. When she wasn't working, Tammy enjoyed decorating her home. Above all, she loved being in the surroundings of her entire family. Surviving are her husband, Troy Sr.; daughter, Tasia Shiquel Collier; son, Troy Chedlamar Collier, Jr.; granddaughter, Ava Tammya Collier-White; special father. J.C.
