ST. ALBANS: Tammy Lynn Keener passed away unexpectedly Sunday, December 12th, 2021, at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Tammy was 61 years old.
Services planned for Sunday January 2nd, 2022, have been postponed due to COVID.
Tammy was born on February 9th, 1960, in Rutland to the late Phillip Baker Keener and Josephine Mary Wheeler.
Growing up in Wallingford, Vermont she attended Wallingford schools, graduating from Mill River Union High School. Tammy attended Castleton State College and then enlisted in the Army. Tammy proudly served her country and took great pride retiring from the Guards after twenty plus years of service.
Tammy loved sports, her pets, gardening, nature and building things. Tammy’s family was most important to her. She loved Kelly who she had grown and enjoyed life with for the last 20 years, they had recently married two years ago. She had such love for her children, grandchildren and extended family.
She held many jobs in her life but she especially loved creating and working with her hands, doing many painting projects, sheet rocking and fixing or building anything. Her most recent employment at P&J Painting may have been the happiest of her life.
She is survived by her partner, Kelly Demag; her children, Heather Geer and Chelsea Erno; grandchildren Iziah Erno and Aryah Opera, as well as her, sister, Cindy and sister-in-law, Vicki.
Tammy’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the Franklin County Animal Rescue, 30 Sunset Meadow, St. Albans, Vermont 05478.
