Hodges, Tamara's Obituary
We celebrate the beautiful life of Tamara Hodges, a woman whose generous spirit and vibrant passions brought joy to everyone around her. Born in Fitiuta, American Samoa, Tamara's life was a tapestry of creativity, music, and love.
Tamara's hands were never idle; she loved to knit and sew, creating beautiful blankets and scarves that warmed both body and soul. Her kitchen was a haven where the delightful aromas of her cooking welcomed friends and family alike. Polynesian music filled her home, and her soulful ukulele playing accompanied many joyous gatherings.
Family was the heart of Tamara's world. Together, they would play ukulele and sing, their harmonious voices echoing the strong faith and sense of community she cherished. Her determined, responsible nature, coupled with her generosity and humble spirit, inspired those around her to embrace life's simple pleasures.
We remember Tamara not just for her talents but for her unwavering loyalty and the warmth she extended to all. As a compassionate pastor's wife who inspired everyone, she touched many lives, leaving a legacy of love and inspiration.
