BROWN JENKINS, Tammy Kay

Tammy Kay (Snow) Jenkins October 7, 1957 - July 13, 2003 Tammy was born in Pueblo, Colorado to Edwin Myrton and Betty Lou (Jones) Snow. As a small child, she grew up in Canon City, Colorado with her three older brothers: Walter, Brad and Bryan Snow. She enjoyed dancing and cheerleading in Junior High and High School. In her late teens, she married Daniel Brown and gave birth to Ryan Daniel Brown in Canon City, Colorado on July 15, 1977. Coming from a low-income family, she worked hard at various retail stores to gain financial security. She also was the first generation in her family to go to college. She divorced Daniel Brown and remarried in 1981 to Rock Jenkins. On July 26, 1981 she gave birth to Heather Marie Jenkins in Greeley, Colorado. She began working at EFTC (Electronic Fab Technology Corp.) in Greeley in her mid-twenties. She was a responsible worker with an excellent work ethic. She worked her way up through the company and became a well liked supervisor. In 1992, she divorced Rock Jenkins and she worked hard to support her two children. Tammy learned that she had to deal with her challenges but enjoy her life at the same time. Those who know her would probably say that she worked hard and played harder. In the year 2000, Tammy decided to live her dream. Her company was moving and she decided she should too. She was always partial to Mexico because of the: people, relaxing atmosphere, fun, ocean and of course the sun. So, she sold her Townhouse, packed up and moved to Isla Mujeres, Mexico (15 minute Island South East of Cancun, Mexico). It was a quiet place by day and fun by night; just the way she liked it. She enjoyed the last three years of her life to it's fullest. She was relaxed, happy and free. Her best friend, Sandy stated that she noticed how when Tammy was living in Mexico it seemed to take ten years off her face; as opposed to working hard day to day. On July 13, 2003 she passed away. (The details of what happened is on the link, "Mexican Media/details of what happened on the web site http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/tammykayjenkins or just google Tammy Jenkins and it's the first site). She will always be missed but never be forgotten.
