She enjoyed her family, reading books and listening to music whether it was on the radio or her sons playing in the living room with the neighborhood band. She went on many adventures traveling abroad and loved spending quiet, quality time in the country with her family. She was also quick-witted had many humorous sayings that included: “It’s fine as cat hair, Not as big as a popcorn toot in a whirlwind, Close that pneumonia hole before I freeze to death, This black coat attracts more lint than men.”Most of all, Tommie was at her happiest knowing that her family was happy and healthy, and she delighted in being a part of family celebrations. She was a kind and very special woman and loved by many.Her mother died when she was very young, and her twin brother died at birth. Her siblings and father preceded her, and she will be blessed to see them all.
