Tamara
Ann Smoley, “Tami” to all who knew and loved her, peacefully left us surrounded
by her brothers, sisters, nieces, nephew, in-laws, and loved ones on Sunday,
the 25th of February, 2017. She was employed as a hospice nurse for over 40 years in Central Florida. Tami’s certainty for a better future fueled her courageous battles
against her myriad health conditions and were an inspiration to all.
Tami
ended this earthly journey to join her parents, John and Jeannine Smoley and
nephew Dean New at Florida Hospital Celebration.
Tami
is survived by her loving sisters and brothers Kim Peaslee of Glendale, AZ,
John Smoley of St. Cloud, FL, Valjean New of Orlando, FL, Michael Smoley of
Ocoee, FL; her 11 nieces and nephews.
When
her health allowed, she was a supporter and participant in the monthly Lord’s
Lunch program provided by Ocoee United Methodist Church at the Christian
Service Center. She prepared her
signature meals for those in need.
Continuing her passion to erase hunger for children and their families,
Tami also supported the New Day Program that stocks a food pantry in local
schools in low income neighborhoods enabling schools to send home food for
families in children’s backpacks.
Tami’s
celebration of life will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday March 4, 2017 at Ocoee Oaks United Methodist
201 Clarke Road, Ocoee, FL 34751
In lieu of
flowers the family requests donation be made to the New Day Project that
provides a food pantry at local schools for children in need. www.newdayproject.org

I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. may GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
Hi Smoley's, so saddened by this. I have fond memories of Tammi. Please accept our sincerest apology for not being able to come down for the service. We will talk soon.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to your family. Death is something we will never get use to. Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, will remove death once and for all ( Rev 21:4) and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth. (Acts 24:15)
