Tammy Lynn Mitziga
Tammy Lynn Mitziga, 49, of Kennedy, Minnesota entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Monday, August 11th, 2008 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Tammy Thorsteinson was born on July 23, 1959 to William and Arlene Thorsteinson in Langdon, ND. The family moved to Kennedy, MN in 1970 and Tammy graduated from Kennedy High School in 1977. She graduated from East Grand Forks Technical College in 1978 and began her career at the Developmental Center in Grafton, ND.
Tammy was united in marriage to Greg Allen Mitziga on November 7, 1987 and they made their home in Kennedy. Their daughter Jacey was born on December 24, 1993.
Tammy made the most of her time here with us. She loved the times with her friends and family at the lake, cooking and entertaining all of her friends, and especially raising her daughter Jacey. Her loving kindness, warm smile and quick-witted humor will be missed.
