Tammy was born in Hendricks, MN to Glenn & Judy (Denison) Tirrel. They lived in Toronto where she graduated from Deubrook High.  As her professional career grew at Angus Palm, she met the love of her life, Todd Altfillisch, and they were united in marriage on January 28th, 1999.  Tammy was currently working at J & R Feeds in Lake Norden and the family owned business in Clark, SD.

Sunset has fallen on the life of a beloved woman who inspired us all with her love, kindness, substance and strength. She was never one to be in the spotlight, but made a difference through her enduring kindness and love. Tammy gave so graciously to others, she loved deeply, and her arms were always open to others. She was an exemplary wife, loving mother, and devoted grandmother. She enjoyed the simple things in life with her best friend and soul mate, Todd, by simply sitting in the yard watching the sunset, working on projects, camping, spending time with their grand-babies, and making the most of every moment with all of her family and friends. We will all sorely miss Tammy for her inspiration to all of us. Through her actions and enduring love, we all learned what real family and love is truly about.

Tammy left this world way too soon and unexpectedly but left an everlasting impression in our hearts. She will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Todd; mother, Judy Tirrel, Estelline; daughters, Brittany Lewno (Shawn), Castlewood; Taryn Ambali (Akwa), Sioux Falls; grandchildren: Alaina and Logan, Castlewood; Lyrik, Cashtyn, Amiyah, Sioux Falls. She also leaves her wonderful in-laws, Wayne (Buster) and Sandy Altfillisch, Clark; Darin and Melissa Altfillisch, Clark; Chad and Cassie Altfillisch, Bradley; and Karrie and Jon Moeller, Clark, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Tammy has been reunited with her brothers: Scott, Chad, and Kyle along with her grandparents.

Memorials may be sent to Dacotah Bank for a Trust fund for her grand-babies.

Following services, please join the family for lunch and a time of fellowship at the Church.

A celebration of life will be held at the Black Claw in Clark following the burial in White, SD.

You are so loved and will forever be in our hearts, Tammy
