Tammy Marie (Kirsch) Snyder

Tammy Marie Snyder, 59, of Fort Mill, SC passed away on Friday, January 28, 2022 after a brave five year fight with Neuroendocrine Pancreatic Cancer. She battled it every single day with a smile on her face and truly lived her life to the fullest.

Tammy was born and raised in Nicktown, PA but has been a Carolina girl since 1987. She leaves behind her mother, Margie Kirsch, her sisters Jill Kirsch and Lori Jackson, all of Nicktown, PA, her brother Brian Kirsch of Altoona, PA, and her mother-in-law, Myrna Snyder, from Greenville, PA. She also leaves behind dozens of relatives from the Kirsch and Smith families as well as many friends and co-workers who all deeply miss her and mourn her loss.

Tammy was a Registered Nurse for over 30 years having worked at West Virginia University Hospital in Morgantown, WV as well as Novant Health in Charlotte, NC. She also did some home health nursing on the side for Brightstar in Fort Mill, SC and received a nomination as National Nurse of the Year for her efforts there. Caring, compassionate, loving and kind, she met so many wonderful people throughout her nursing career that helped shape her into the woman she became.

Tammy unconditionally loved her husband of 33 years, Rod, her amazing children Brett and Amy and her loyal companion Cooper, her Westie. Tammy also was known as "Grammy Tammy" to so many kids close to her. She loved to travel with her family. One of her passions was going to the beach (among her favorites were Grayton Beach near Destin, FL and Folly Beach near Charleston, SC). Some of her memorable trips recently were to St. Lucia, Boston and Maine, the Pacific Northwest, a drive down the coast of California from San Francisco to San Diego with Amy, as well as a trip with her to Italy just two months ago, where each culinary delight outdid the last.
The family is planning a visitation at Palmetto Funeral Home in Fort Mill, SC on Wednesday, February 2 from 6:30-8:30 pm, with a Memorial Service and burial to be held in her hometown of Nicktown, PA. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Tammy’s name to NCAN (Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network), 3074 Brookchase Blvd, Fort Mill, SC 29707.

Tammy left a mark on everyone she met. She will be deeply missed and joyfully remembered
