HONORARY PALLBEARERS: Members of the Greensburg Separate Baptist Church

Tammy Jo Blaydes, 62, of Louisville, KY moved on to heaven on Friday, April 24, 2024 following a truly courageous fight with metastatic breast cancer.
 

She grew up in a loving home in the Little Barren community where she enjoyed spending time with her family and capturing the history and stories of Little Barren. Tammy was a proud and faithful member of Little Barren Separate Baptist Church. She graduated from Green County High School in 1979 and was a member of the Dragon Marching Band playing the trumpet and clarinet. Tammy was always proud to sport her “vintage” GCHS letter jacket while supporting her nieces at Green County sporting events and she would say to all, “Yes, it still fits.” Tammy graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Business in 1983.

She began her career in her hometown working for the Greensburg Record Herald capturing local news and ended her career 41 years later at HighNote in Louisville. The latter of which she worked 27 years as the Customer Service Representative never missing a day of work. Tammy’s life traversed a multitude of locations beginning with the beautiful, small-town Edmonton, the hustle and bustle of Dallas, the Windy City- Chicago, and the Derby City Louisville; however, always calling the ever charming and historical Greensburg her home. Tammy spent a life embodying peace and love, flaunting tie-dye and posing with peace signs. Peace and love meant more to Tammy than a fun look- it meant service and giving back. Tammy took great pride in donating time, money and her platelets in memory of loved ones lost or affected by cancer.

Tammy’s hobbies and passion are displayed in her home- much like a funky folk museum- in the form of varying photographs, an immense collection of cameras, eclectic and quirky art, an extensive genre of music, intricate heirloom quilts, rare and special antiques, and collections of river glass. Tammy spent her life documenting her observations and experiences of the world, her memories and moments, with her 35 mm Canon AE-1 gifted to her by her loving stepfather “Bill.” Tammy leaves behind a lifetime of memories in the moments she captured; never leaving a gap in time and leaving treasures and gifts- a timeline- to last us a lifetime.

Family and friends were the cornerstone of Tammy’s life. Tammy loved her family and would make a point to tell them that she loved and appreciated them as often as possible. Tammy held many roles; however, the role she most cherished was her role as an aunt. To her nephews Ross and Reagan, she was Aunt Tammy and to Anna, Dayni and River Coffey she held the endearing title- T.T. given to her by Anna when she could not pronounce Aunt Tammy.

SURVIVORS:

Her mother: Wanda Coffey who raised her with unconditional faith, love, and support

1 sister: Pamela (Clay) Jones

1 brother: Brian (Joy) Coffey
Her nephews: Ross Jones and Reagan Jones & the Coffey Kids: Anna Coffey, Dayni Coffey and River Coffey

Tammy was preceded in death by her father, Charles Blaydes and her stepfather, Willard Coffey.

Rest in peace and love, dear Tammy, our TT. Your light continues to shine brightly, inspiring all who had the privilege of knowing you. Your legacy lives on in the countless lives you touched with your love.

She began working at Taylor Count Hospital in 1977 as a patient care aide until retiring after 35 years of service. She spent most of her years at TCH in Labor and Delivery and even catching a few babies. Jane was known for her detailed work ethic, dedication to patients and jovial attitude. After retirement, she stayed at home with patients to provide daily care until 2017.

Jane showed pure love and devotion throughout her life to God, family and country.  A true patriot, she proudly sent all three sons to Camp Lejeune to be trained as United States Marines. Jane and her mother’s love of nursing was passed down to her only daughter. With great enthusiasm, Jane would follow college basketball each year as an avid UK Wildcats basketball fan throughout her life. Jane was also active in her church and loved Bible study. After retirement, she enjoyed group travel throughout the United States. In 1999 at age 66, Jane started classes at Campbellsville College and continued until 2002. Granny Jane also adored all her grandchildren and cherished spending holidays and birthdays with family.
