Early Thursday morning, June 12, 2025, Tamatha unexpectedly departed her earthly life and entered her Heavenly Father’s Arms.
Tamatha Lynette was born on February 15, 1976, the second ‘baby girl’ born to Gwendolyn Johnson Wheeler and the late Wayne Wheeler.
Tammy accepted Christ as her personal Savior at an early age at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Eugene H. Mitchell. She was educated in the City of Cartersville School System and graduated with the Class of 1994. After graduating she furthered her education at Jacksonville State University studying in the field of Nursing.
Tammy was truly the life of the party and she could often be heard saying “don’t make me laugh” all the while making you laugh. Her favorite thing that she loved the most was frying fish, talking on the phone and shopping at the Outlet Mall. She loved her family more than anything and she would do all that a mother, sister, aunt, cousin or friend would do for you. If she loved you, she showed you just how much she loved you, as she would say “actions speaks louder than words”. Tammy was a loving caregiver to the families that she cared for and they meant the world to her; it filled her heart to know that she was helping someone in need.
She is preceded in death by her father, Wayne Wheeler; grandparents, Ollie Mae Johnson, Ruth Wheeler, John Willie Davis (Bobby), Claude Green and uncle, Lamar Green and Wallace Johnson.
Tammy leaves to celebrate her life and cherish her loving memories, husband, Mondreco Donte’ Blair; children, Kaelyn N. Irby, Mondreco Blair II, Justin Caver Shandreca Blair, and Amya Blair; mother, Gwendolyn Wheeler; sister, Monica Wheeler; niece, India Reid; nephews, Byron Davis II, and Ashton Hagans; great-niece, Janiah Durrah; Godmother, Betty Ruth Benham; ‘MOM’-Tee, Myra (Duncan) Livsey; special cousins, Elaine (Terrell) Amos and Jessica Livsey; special BIL Marcus Moore; aunts, Ernestine Edwards, Glenda Darby, June Williams (Darrell), Linda Benham (Steven), Gloria Green and Terry Green; uncles, Danny Johnson (Eileen), Priscilla Milton (Grier), Tommy Johnson and Kenneth Johnson; father-in-law, Warren Blair; mother-in-law, Tange Blair; eight sisters-in-law; and brother-in-law, Warren Blair; along with a village of other relatives that loved and supported her throughout her life.
Tammy you will always be in our hearts and we will miss you
