Tammy Lee

Hurkman

Tammy Lee Hurkman, age 66, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2026, surrounded by her family at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, MO. Tammy leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and a collection of purses and pens that could probably tell a few stories of their own.

Tammy was a woman who knew how to enjoy the simple things in life. She loved nothing more than a good garage sale. She could spend hours browsing tables, always looking for that perfect purse or treasure to take home with her or give her family.

She also had a special appreciation for pens and purses. And if she happened to see a pen or purse she really liked, she wouldn't hesitate to ask for it or where they got it.

Those little things were part of what made Tammy so special. She found joy in ordinary things. Her family and friends will remember her for her outspoken, yet kind, personality. She didn't hesitate to speak what was on her mind.

Tammy is survived by her daughters, Rachelle (Joey) Moffat; Heather (Bruce) Krisle; Tracy (Rob) Smith; son, Steven Rollett Jr.; grandchildren, Kendall (Chris) Moad, Mikey (Tristyn) Moad, Mia (Dustin) Moffat, Zoey Smith, Montana (Ethan) Moffat, Trista Smith, and Makena Moffat; best friend Sonja Wriedt who was like a sister to her, and 11 great grandchildren.

Memorial Service: 11:00 AM Thursday, October 8 at the Roberson-Polley Chapel in Albany. The family will receive friends 10:00 – 11:00 AM on Thursday prior to the service. Online Condolences: www.robersonpolleychapel.com
