DRAKESBORO— Tammy Dean Henderson, 61, loving mother of two, and “Best Ole Mimi Ever”, peacefully entered the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Monday, June 27 after a long- fought battle. Tammy was a member of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church. She was described by anyone she ever met to be a loving and caring woman, always giving her time to others, and would be a friend to anyone. As a mother she was generous, loving and kind. But her true love in life was being a Mimi and Mamaw. She loved her grandchildren more than anything, and “those boys never done anything wrong”. She spoiled them as much as she possibly could. In her free time, Tammy loved spending time with her best friend Brenda, watching her grandson, “Lightning Liam”, race his dirt bike, drinking coffee, and spending time with her family. She will be greatly missed by her family and especially her two sons: Ronald “Jay” and Dakota, who adore her with all of their hearts. “We know that we can’t have you but we’re happy knowing that the angels have finally got you back. Goodbye to a wonderful woman and a beautiful mother.”
The family would like to express a special thank you to the Heartford House in Owensboro for the amazing care and kindness shown in such a short time. Those nurses are truly angels. Tammy was preceded in death by her mother, Jewell Hardwick, and brother, Terry Vincent.
Survivors include her significant other, Nathan Eldridge; sons, Ronald “Jay” (Jennifer) Henderson and Dakota (Ashley) Shemwell; grandsons, Ben, Cameron, Colton, Liam, Avery, Hunter, and Edward; sisters: Kim Crouch and Tina (Brett) Hostetter; brothers: Tim (Sheila) Childress, Tony Ray (Johnna) Vincent, and Todd (Christina) Vincent; sister-in-law, Laura Vincent, and her best friend, Brenda Simms.
There will be a service for those who would like to come celebrate her life with the family. Services will be Thursday June 30, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at Tucker Funeral Home in Central City, KY with Brother Mike Davis officiating. Visitation will be Thursday at 10:00 a.m. at the funeral home.
