Memorial service and reception for Tammy Rikke, 46, will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2006 at 2:00 pm in the Upton Community Center. Tammy Rikke died in her home, among family, on Tuesday, December 5, 2006.
She was born on July 17, 1960 to Charles and Linda Yeaple. She enjoyed animals, friends, and family. She was a woman loved by many, who loved them in return, as well as many others. She was also a woman who filled the lives around her with love, laughter, warmth, giving, caring, and aggravation.
No matter the amount of time that goes by, she will not be forgotten. She had that easy way about her, to make sure nobody forgot, by the simple tactics of getting under people?s skin and into their hearts. She will be loved and missed, but never forgotten.
Tammy is survived by her parents, Charles and Linda Yeaple; brothers Jon and Troy Yeaple; husband Steven Rikke; daughters Mercedez and Leanna Flores; and children Griz, Nik, and Kip.
