TAMI BLANCHARD

" Tami was an amazing
mother, sister, aunt and grandma."
Tami Blanchard, 55, of Vancouver, WA, has left us too early. Nothing in life stopped her from her future. Tami has overcome so many obstacles in life and was still willing to help anyone.
Tami is survived by her son, Joel Sandor; mother, Corrine Jackson; father, Jim Blanchard; sister, Terri; brothers, Scott and Steve; grandson, Blake; nieces and great-nephews.
She will be missed by many and remembered
for all the good memories she has brought to our lives.
Please join us for a Celebration of Life on Sat., Feb. 2, 2013, at the Heathman Lodge, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Please sign her guest book at: www.columbian.com/obits.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
Since returning back to the NW, was hoping our paths would cross....so sorry to hear this news. It was such a pleasure to have known you Tami, working @ Columbia CU and playing co-ed softball for Selbergs so many years ago. My deepest sympathy goes out to your son and the rest of your family. God Bless....

Tami was very special to me during junior high, she was my first real love, I have so many great memories of her, her mom, Teri, Scott and Steve, I was very close to them during those few short years. Though I have not seen Tami for years there has always been a special place in my heart for her. My thoughts go out to her family and everyone that had the opportunity to become close with her. I'm sure she grew into an amazing person.
Rest in Peace Tami, and thank you for a very special time in my life.

I was saddened to hear about Tami's passing. I met Tami when I became a member of Columbia Credit Union where she was employed. We became friends and had TONS of fun! Tami was a joy to be around, kind and funny. Probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. To Tami's family...please accept my condolences for your loss.

Such a loss to the family and many friends Tami left behind. But, we smile and chuckle remembering our working days, camping trips and just hanging out laughing and singing, seemingly long ago. You will now be heard and felt in spirit, we know. Our love to you, true being, precious, sincere and caring Tami - Doug & Lori Ruge

I was shocked to hear that Tami had past. I remember so many memories starting from Mac Hi through high school. We were once very good friends. Tami was always a leader. She was strong and never allowed adversity to stop her. I have missed her all these years, but I will always keep a place in my heart for her.

Aunt Tami-It seems so weird to be writing this. You've always had such a wonderful smile and a personality that lights a room. I feel so blessed to have seen you over the last couple years. I'm so very glad that my two babies had the opportunity to meet such a special member of our family. And I know you and grandma are watching over all of us.

My warmest thoughts go out to Tami's family, who she loved fiercely. She was always so proud of her son and talked often of her grandson, both who brought so much sunshine to her life. I don't think I have ever met a stronger woman! I will miss her very much...

I was given a paper today to read an article. Decided to read the rest of the paper and saw something I never expected to see. It was breathe catching and heartbreak combined. I had not seen Tami for quite sometime but remember that wonderful smile she had and the easy demeanor she eluded. She was a true friend and certainly a giver. I have very fond memories of our days in the 80's and all the fun we had. Nick and I send our heartfelt condolenses to Scott, Terri and Corrine. Joel, wonderful memories of a beautiful person, your mom, will live on in a lot of us.
