In loving memory of Tami Elizabeth McDuffey, who passed away peacefully at her home on April 4, 2026, surrounded by her devoted husband, Ronald, her cherished daughters, Tamarra and Amber, and her eldest granddaughter, Scarlett. Tami was born on October 26, 1962, in St. Louis, Missouri, and lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a dedication to her family that will be remembered forever.
Tami was the beloved daughter of the late Everett Junior Lowe and Isabelle Irene Lowe. She was the heart of her family, a guiding light whose warmth touched everyone she met. Preceding her in death were her dear parents, her treasured older brother, Tommy Boseman, and her beloved sister, Penney Starr. Their memories were deeply cherished by Tami, who often spoke of them with great affection and fondness.
Tami leaves behind a loving family who will continue to celebrate her life and legacy. Her devoted husband, Ronald Francis McDuffey, was her partner in life and love, standing by her side through all of life’s journey. Together, they built a family filled with joy and kindness.
She is survived by her sisters, Judy Folsum and her husband, Terry, and Linda O’Brien, as well as her brother, Randy Lowe. Tami shared a special bond with each of her siblings, who were her lifelong friends and confidants.
Her daughters, Tamarra Irene King and Amber Aline McDuffey, were the pride of her life, embodying the values of compassion and resilience that Tami instilled in them. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren, Nicholas Raymond King, Scarlett Elizabeth King, and Violett Rose King, who brought immense joy and pride to her life. Though she did not have great-grandchildren, her spirit lives on in the next generations, who will carry forward her legacy of love and compassion.
Tami will be remembered for her unwavering dedication to her family, her infectious laughter, and her kind heart. She had a rare ability to make everyone feel special and loved, always offering a listening ear and a comforting hug. Her home was a haven of warmth and hospitality, where friends and family gathered, enveloped in her generous spirit.
A private funeral service will be held to honor Tami’s life, as per the family’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Tami’s memory to a charity of your choice, as a reflection of her giving nature and commitment to helping others.
As we say goodbye to Tami, we hold on to the countless memories and the enduring impact she had on all who knew her. Her legacy of love will continue to inspire us, and her spirit will forever be a guiding light in our lives.
