Tammy Huff

September 2, 1966-November 12, 1982 Tammy was the first member of the Reitz class of 1984 to pass away. She died in an automobile accident in Memphis, Tennessee during our junior year at Reitz. While enrolled at Reitz, Tammy was a member of the Office Education Association, Future Business Leaders, the National Junior Honor Society, The Reitz Student Council and the Gridiron Girls. She was survived by her mother, Marie Huff; her grandmother, Ruth Hodgkins; a sister, Cindy Huff, and her brother, Randy Huff. How the class of 1984 remembers Tammy: Dear Tammy, As time has gone by, we will always remember that you were a part of the Class of 1984. It seems like yesterday we were smiling and laughing together. Nothing in this crazy world could ever take away the precious memories we have of you, and even though God has given us only memories, we have made the best of them. The senior class has been through some difficult situations and times in each one's life when he thought the world was coming to an end. But we have all learned to have the strength and courage to go on. We all have realized that life is the most precious gift of all and to make the most of that gift. Tammy, we all miss you and we will always remember those special moments. Our thoughts and hearts are with you on graduation and always. Thank you for the beautiful memories! We will cherish them forever. The Class of 1984 - originally published in the 1984 edition of Reflections, The Reitz High School Yearbook Just seeing her picture makes my heart sad. Tammy and I were best friends since grade school at Tekoppel School, and had some great times. Like the party we had in her Mom's garage (Beth, Sue and Joann if you read this you know which one I'm talking about). We were 15, drinking Double Cola and doing some crazy dancin' to the Rapper's Delight!! What a great time!! She was truly a special person...one of the sweetest I've known. I miss her always. - Maleaha Taffel Eagleson I remember I had spent the night with her the Wednesday night before the accident on Friday night. The last time I seen her she was asleep when I left her house around 1:30pm that next day. I was starting my first job, and found out that they were going to hire her next. (we had put in applications together) I often wonder what life would have been like with her still around. She is missed to this day!! - Sue Turpen-Braden Tell everyone your memories of Tammy.
