Tamara was my neighbor growing up in Calgary. After school I would always go over to her house where she would let me watch tv and take care of me while I waited for my mom to get home from her teaching job. I'll always remember how her face would light up when she greeted me asking "How's my friend?", she had such a gift for making you feel loved. I deeply cherish the memories I have of our time together, and I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing.

Rest easy my friend, I will think of you always.

Our deepest condolences to the family. Tamara was a wonderful woman with lot's of energy. Many smiles when thinking about her!

Dear Kosacz and Vaughan

Tamara is my hero

She survived hardships and adversity that most will never know. She was exceptionally rare that instead of bitterness, her heart was full of love and kindness, She was always giving and lifting people up. Her memory will inspire and guide others way of life.

I will miss her passion in our talks about world events, her unrivalled hospitality and making friends into family.

A earth angel has been called home, despite this deep loss- I am overjoyed she is with her maker. Her impact and legacy is forever

Not only was Tamara a part of the “greatest generation” but personally for me and my family she was a surrogate mom and grandmother. She will be remembered for her devoted Faith, Courage, Generosity and Love. She faced adversity with dignity and hard work. Her generosity was extended to all who knew her but even more so to the hurting and disadvantaged individuals who crossed her path. She was devoted to causes and organizations that added quality to the life of her community. She left this world a better place.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands finally at rest. Once again God proved he shared with us the very best.

Rest In Peace dear Tamara. Forever loved and remembered by the light of your example.

It was a great honor to be a companion for Tamara for 7 months in this past year. Visiting her was always a highlight of my week. The smile that would appear on her face when she first saw me enter her room was enough to make any bad day better. She always reminded me that if we don't have our health then we have nothing, she was always encouraging me to make sure I was taking care of my health at all times. I needed those visits as much as she needed them and I am forever thankful I was able to have the chance to meet and spend time with such an amazing woman. She is deeply missed and loved by so many.

I remember Tamara from the Housekeeping Department at the Calgary General Hospital where she was one of the supervisors. She was a dedicated and loyal worker and we shared many wonderful times at the hospital as well as outside of work. She was a great cook and baker and she was always bringing delicious pastries and meals to share with us at work. She was so kind hearted and always showed concern for her family, friends and co-workers. I feel blessed having had her in my life. I wish to extend my sincere condolences to her family and to please know that they are in my prayers during this difficult very difficult time.
