LECANTO, FL - Tammy Paege Adams, daughter of Linda Black Paege, born November 26, 1963, graduated from James Whitcomb Riley High School in South Bend, Indiana.

Her Christian life was as beautiful to her as her children, sister and mother whom she loved so well, and her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her.

She was married to Jim Adams and was blessed with children, Chris, Ashley, Jared and Landon. She was proud of each and every one. She felt Landon was a gift, a surprise and a celebration. She was proud of her boys and loved them very much. Tammy would talk about Ashley's love for animals and how compassionate she is. Tammy would talk about her sister and the many girl talks they had. Her mother was here for a visit and she was looking forward to spending time with her.

Tammy was employed as Manager of Employment Services in Lecanto since 2003 until her death on April 3, 2017. She worked tirelessly to ensure the lives of individuals with disabilities were enriched and enhanced by helping them to find and succeed in meaningful jobs. She touched the lives of hundreds of individuals. Always positive and optimistic, Tammy was truly one of a kind and will be missed beyond words.

Tammy loved talking about Kittery, her kids, sister and mother. She liked fast food, John Candy (especially Uncle Buck), going to Wiersdale Opry and laughter. She loved Max, her dog. She was a peacemaker, had a wonderful sense of humor and the kindest heart of anyone you will ever meet.
