Tammy Gail Ward, a devoted wife,
mother, and grandmother native to Nashville, TN, died unexpectedly
on January 23, 2018 at the age of 55. She went to sleep Monday
night, and simply didn't wake up. She passed peacefully in her home
of 17 years.
Tammy is survived by her husband, Barry Ward; her three sons, BJ
Ward and wife Kyla, Danny Ward and wife Allison, and Steven Ward and
wife Brandi; her eight grandchildren, Clayton, Addison, Ashton,
Mackenzie, Sydney, Greyson, Gideon, and Eisley; her siblings, Donnie
Staton and wife Sheila, Penny Hughes, and Phillip Staton and wife
Jamie. She is predeceased by her mother, Mildred Christine Staton;
her father, Larry Staton; and her first child born sleeping, "Baby
Ward."
Tammy was born in Nashville in October 1962, where she remained the
rest of her days. On January 9, 1982, she married Barry, a hard
working, fun loving, and generous man. They built a life together
and she dedicated it to raising her boys and in more recent years,
spending time and making memories with her grandkids.
Tammy's favorite hobbies were cooking, gardening, taking and
printing pictures, spending time with her sister, Penny, and
relaxing in her backyard pool. In their "honeymoon" years, she and
Barry loved to go out and dance the night away. Of all her pastimes,
spending time with her eight grandchildren was by far her favorite.
She was involved with all of their lives from birth, and she had a
special and unique relationship with each of them. She was known as
both "Nana" and "Nini", and all of the kids have fond memories of
learning to swim in her pool, easter egg hunts in her yard,
trick-or-treating on her street, having sleepovers at her house, and
taking over every inch of her living room for dinner and movie
nights. The kids will hold onto those memories forever and we know
she took them to Heaven with her as well. She was loved by many and
her absence is heartbreaking; she is deeply missed.
A Celebration of Life Service will be 2:00 pm Monday, January 29,
2018 at Hermitage Funeral Home, 535 Shute Lane, Old Hickory, TN with
Pastor Clay Baggett officiating. Interment will follow in Hermitage
Memorial Gardens with Family & Friends serving as pallbearers.
The family will receive friends from 1 -5 pm Sunday, January 28,
2018 and from 12 - 2 pm Monday at the funeral home.
