The daughter of Gloria Watson Mason and the late Larry Dean Mason, she was born on February 24, 1966 in Valdese, NC.

She was known for her fierce passion, her commitment to her community, her open and loving heart, loyalty to her friends, and dedication to her family.

Tammy was preceded in death by her father, Larry Dean Mason.
