Tiffany obeyed the gospel of Christ as a teenager at Westside Church of Christ in Vernon, Alabama. Later, she moved with her mom to Madison, AL.
Tiffany graduated from Lamar County High School in 2011 where she was active in sports, including basketball and softball. After graduation, Tiffany attended cosmetology school in Florence, AL. She furthered her education at Calhoun Community College in Decatur, AL. Afterwards, Tiffany worked various jobs and later moved into a position as a daycare teacher, where she took pleasure in loving the children in her care.

Tiffany was known for her big smile and free spirit; she loved the many friends and family gatherings, and loving on her baby girl. She also leaves a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved her very much and will miss her saying “I love you”, as she always reminded us. God’s loving hands are smiling, “Tiff”.
