The world has lost a truly amazing soul, Tammy Lynne Larsen. She was born April 28th 1969 and passed away in her home on July 10th 2026. She lived to love her family. She became a nurse, a model and proudly an extra in several film's, also recently achieved her dream of becoming an author of children's books. She loved to write, dance and sing, a joy she shared with everyone around her. She always had 2 shoulders to cry on, and a mental vault of jokes to make people laugh. She worked hard and loved hard.

Tammy was preceded in death by husband Roger Richens, Mother AnnaMarie Essary, brother Dennis Larsen, aunt Marjorie White, as well as her grandparents. She is survived by so many that love and miss her deeply, including her stepfather Warren Dale Essary, siblings Arthur Larsen, David Essary, Annette Michelle Larsen, Sheila Essary, ChristyMarie Essary and Sherri Essary, her many nieces, among them Elizabeth Essary, Arista Patterson, Jade Essary, her many nephews Lee Essary, Colton and all the Larsen boys, last but not least the cousins that were there for her the most Christopher Buchanan and Bradley Buchanan.

The world honestly feels so empty and dark without the light she carried within her. We will never forget the stories she told and her excitement about her books. We will miss the jokes she told a thousand times, her love for singing and dancing. Tammy lived her life with love and joy, despite the challenges in her life. Until we meet again you will always live in our hearts.

Her memorial will be held at LaGrone Funeral Chapel August 5th, 2026 from 11AM, followed by a graveside service at South Park Cemetery.
