Tammy McCrary Shell, 57, of Rossville, Georgia, went home to be with her Lord on January 6, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. 

 

Tammy was born on July 6, 1964, in Chattanooga to Mr. Hubert Ray McCrary and Mrs. Tina Teas Hughes.

 

Tammy was a people person. She loved to make people smile. She spent many years as a cashier at Junior’s Building Supply. In her younger years, Tammy enjoyed riding horses.  She loved watching her soap operas with a hot coffee in hand and was always there to offer words of encouragement to anyone who needed it. Tammy was a great cook who loved cooking for and spending time with her family.  Her smile and love will surely be missed by all those who knew and loved her.

 

Tammy is preceded in death by her father and brother, Keith McCrary.

 

Tammy is survived by her husband of 42 years, Mr. Greg Shell, her daughter, Tiffany (Todd) Poteet, grandchildren, Payton and Nolan Poteet, and mother, Tina Hughes, siblings; Mona Green, Anita (Stanley) Whittmore, and Cornell McCrary.
