Tammy Lee Thomas

Tammy Lee (McNair) Thomas, 65, of Sandusky, passed away on Saturday, September 21, 2024 surrounded by her family at Stein Hospice after being diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

Born on April 4th, 1959, in Sandusky, Ohio the daughter of Marvel June Dennison and Charles Norman McNair Sr., she attended Sandusky High School and enjoyed many years making friends while working at various places such as G&C Foundry, Prepared Foods, Sandusky Plastics, Sandusky Transit and most recently she worked the past 17 years for Huron City Schools. She dearly enjoyed her principals, teachers, staff and especially her younger students, of which she often spoke fondly of.

She most enjoyed spending time with the people she loved, whether riding motorcycles, spoiling her grandkids, tipping a few back with friends or watching her Buckeyes and Steelers play football. Those that knew Tammy best would describe her as the happiest person in the room, always smiling, kind to everyone she met and one of the hardest workers you ever knew. She will be remembered most for being selfless, always looking out for others above herself, until her final breath.

Tammy is survived by her sons, Robert “Bob” (Christi) of Kissimmee, Florida and Shane of Bellevue, Ohio; grandchildren Lindsey, Amberly, Adam, Mackynzie, Ashlynn, Evan, Madeline, Lillian, Ella and Rosaleigh; sisters Debbie (Danny Klein) Grooms of Bell Buckle, Tennessee and Marvel (Bob) Hutchinson of Sandusky; brother Arthur Killian of Sandusky; many beloved cousins; and countless nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Daniel “Boone” Killian, Daniel “Dan” McNair, and Charles “Chuck” McNair; and sister Charlene McNair.

Visitation will be held on Monday evening, September 30th, 2024, from 4pm until 7pm and funeral services, Tuesday October 1st, 2024 at 2pm, both to be held at the David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky. There will be private time for the family at 3pm just prior to the visitation.  Rev. Jeff Watson from The Chapel officiating.
