A lover of many things, Mrs. Washington worked hard to support her one, and only daughter and was unwavering when it came to her well-being. She loved to spend time with her family and friends, listened to country and gospel music, read, travel, watch cartoons, and collect pajamas. Tammie was extremely passionate about her patients and their well-being. Many of the things that will be missed about Tammie are her genuine and kind spirit, her love for nursing and caring for people; as she often put others before herself, and her beautiful smile.
