Tammy Lynn Parker

Tammy Lynn Parker, Little Chute, age 55, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 4, 2021.  She was born on January 9th, 1965, the daughter of the late Gerald and Ellen Retzlaff.  Tammy was a well-established bartender around the area but most notably spent many of her years at Jacks or Better in Little Chute.

Tammy loved spending time with her family, traveling to her parent’s house on Lake Poygan, spending summers at the campground, and having fires outside her home.  Tammy was so caring, loving, selfless and infectious to be around but she truly enjoyed living in the moment.  When given the opportunity Tammy and her brother Greg would often play jokes on each other including each Christmas jokingly trying to steal each other’s prized cashews.

But over the past few years health issues arose but Tammy was always a fighter.  No matter the diagnosis she always stayed positive while beating cancer, dealing with severe neuropathy and encountering other health issues. She used the strength of her children, brother, grandchildren and other family members to fight each day until she couldn’t hold on any longer.

Tammy is survived by her daughters:  Ashley (Rob) Stevens, Appleton, Kayla (Brandon) Ogden, Appleton and son Justin Parker, Madison; grandchildren: Taylor, Luke, Elyse Stevens, Appleton; brother, Greg (Janel) Retzlaff, Combined Locks; nieces Kaitlyn Retzlaff and Kayley Wontor, Combined Locks, she is also survived by other relatives and friends.

In addition to her parents, Tammy was preceded in death by her sister-in-law Lisa Retzlaff, beloved chihuahua Bella, and other relatives and friends
