Tammy M. Keele (White), 52, of Marion, Iowa passed away on Thursday, May 17, 2018 at University of Iowa Hospital. Tammy was born in Cedar Rapids on July 8, 1965 to Richard and Kathryn (Tompkins) White.
She loved children from an early age, and became a nanny and worked in Detroit, MI. She then earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Mount Mercy University. Tammy joined Five Seasons Learning Centers working in the before and after school child care program.
She loved working with children and was strong in her relationship with her Savior Jesus Christ. Her life reflected her relationship with Him and she was always one that encouraged others and she always lit up a room with her smile. Everyone that knew her could see her positive outlook on life. She could always see the positive side of any situation, even when she was dealing with the medical issues that happened in the last few years of her life.
She especially loved her family and her two Boston Terriers. After her illness, she enjoyed going with her husband David to the golf course and driving the cart. She was loved by anyone that came in contact with her, the children that she cared for, as well as any adults that she met. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
She is survived by her loving husband David; parents Richard (Dick) and Kathryn (Kathy) White; brothers Dick White of Des Moines, IA, and Rob White of Ringold, OK and sister Lara White of Edmond, OK.
