Tammy Hefner, age 59, of Russells Point, passed away at her residence at 10:20 a.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025. She was born in Marion, Ohio, on May 20, 1965, to the late Kathy Siebeneck and Frank Church, who survives her.
On October 2, 1982, she married Kevin L. Hefner in the Lafayette Congressional Christian Church and he survives.
Tammy is also survived by her children, Tricia (Jon) McCutcheon, Kristen Hefner, and Kyle (Alycia Ballone) Hefner; grandchildren, Chase (Donavin), Marcella, Avery, Eliana, Kameron, Brenna, and Leo; and one great grandchild, Evelyn.
Tammy’s primary passion in life was her family. She ensured she attended all of her children’s and grandchildren’s events. Tammy also cared deeply for her friends and was affectionately known, alongside Kevin, as “grandma and grandpa” to many children beyond their own family. Tammy had a particular fondness for playing cards, especially euchre and rummy, and enjoyed playing UNO with her grandchildren. She collected lighthouses, engaged in word puzzles, and was an avid viewer of “Wheel of Fortune” and loved thrift shopping. Additionally, Tammy was renowned for her green thumb. She maintained numerous house plants, often reviving those that nurseries discarded due to poor health. Tammy will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her.
