BIDDEFORD — Tammy L. Hafford, Oct. 31, 1963 to April 2, 2017, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, great aunt, friend and soon-to-be grandmother, passed away surrounded by the love of her family.

She was born in Norfolk, Virginia to Alden and Janice Lanpher and was predeceased by her father and nephew Matthew.

She leaves behind her treasured daughter Amy and son-in-law Josh; cherished mom and Uncle Jimmy Gallo; her loving siblings, John Lanpher and family, Rita Richards and family, Teresa Davis and family, as well as Crystal Lanpher and her daughter. Also many nephews, nieces, great nephews and nieces, and not to be forgotten, her beloved dog Tweak.

Tammy graduated from Penquis Valley High School in Milo, Maine. She received a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management, but her true passion was being a nanny and caring for children.

Tammy loved to make people happy and laugh. She was a jokester, like her dad. She never stopped dancing even when walking was difficult. She was a giver even when she was in need herself. Her strong, beautiful spirit was with her until the end.

She is so loved and will forever be remembered by many. May she rest in peace.

A gathering of family and friends will be held to celebrate Tammy’s life at Cornerstone Methodist Church in Saco, Maine on Sunday April 9 from 2 to 5 p.m.
