Tamara Goss passed away unexpectedly in Clinton on Oct. 21, 2018, at the age of 46.

Tami is preceded in death by her mother Judith. She is survived by her father Matthew; her sons Joseph and Jared; and her siblings Matthew II, Timothy, Jennifer, Christian and Michael.

Tami was born on Nov. 3, 1971, in Lewiston, New York, to Matthew and Judith Shorey. Tami graduated from South Whidbey High School in 1989 and just three short years later she married Eric Goss. The couple welcomed two boys, Joseph and Jared. Her boys were everything and her world revolved around them.

Tami loved to cook and entertain friends and family alike. She found her greatest joy in seeing the ones she loved happy and cared for. She was an Alaskan fisherman, office coordinator, licensed Realtor, bank teller, and landscaper.

Tami had an amazing sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. She also had a fierce loyalty to her family and friends and would always be the first to go to bat for the ones she loved. She was tough as nails and had an immeasurable drive which we will always admire her for. Tami was a mother, a daughter, a sister, an auntie and a friend. She will be missed by all, especially her smile that could light up a whole room.

May she rest in peace and her spirit soar high above the clouds.
