My deepest sympathy on the loss of Tammy. She was a wonderfully kind person and always had a huge smile on her face. Wishing you all comfort and peace during this difficult time.

So sad to hear of Tammy's passing. When I first starting working at UIHC 24 years ago as a cashier in dietary Tammy was one of the first to befriend me. She always has a smile on her face, was always glad to see you, and always had something encouraging to say. I'll never forget her kind soul. My deepest condolences to the Banwart family on their loss. Take care.

So sad to see this lovely lady left this world so soon. I remember being a lot younger and being family for few years at least. We had fun playing at your Grandma Maddens’s house and maybe even yours a few times.

I have always admired your beautiful smile and how you always made sure to say hi whenever we crossed paths in the tears after separating from your family.

Tammy, you were such a very kind soul, may you be at peace, love, and protect your family as watch over them from above.

There are no words to express the loss of a real life angel here on earth. Tammy was the example above all what it is to be a good person. .. be the best that you can be every day. ..no matter what life puts in front of you. Tammy barreled into it headlong and head strong. . . but in a very good way. . . you don't back down. Tammy leaves a lasting legacy. . .of a beautiful family. . and friends. lots and lots and lots of friends. she never met anyone she didn't like . I would see her from time to time and it was just like time had not passed at all between our last encounter.

I pray for strength for the family. . knowing its coming doesn't make it any easier but she set the bar high for those others that hopefully will not experience what she did but certainly how to handle.

To all you are in my thoughts and prayers and I am thankful she is no longer in pain. God bless you all and Tammy you are truly missed.

Banwart family sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers. I always enjoyed talking to Tammy at UIHC. Keep all the good memories in your hearts forever. God Bless

Tammy was one of the nicest, kindest people to ever walk among us. She was a friend to everyone she met. I'll never forget her.
