Born on September 5, 1967, in Cuba, she was a daughter of Wilford and Hilda (Mann) Burdick.

Tami was a graduate of Bolivar High School. After high school she moved to Florida and worked as a drill bit inspector for MA Ford. Returning to the Bolivar area she worked as a Certified Nurse’s Aide in homes and later worked in the Deli at the Bolivar Shop and Save, prior to becoming disabled.

Tami loved and adored her grandchildren, spending time with family, holidays, and spending time with her friends at Generations in Bolivar. She found great peace at the beach, listening to Peral Jam, and will be remembered for her loving and caring spirit.

She is survived by two sons; Bradley (Melody) Darrin of Shinglehouse, PA and Jacob (Kendra Knowlton) Darrin of Olean; her grandson Xavier Darrin; a granddaughter Amiyah Darrin; two brothers Ronald (Marian) Burdick of Richburg and James (Marlene) Burdick of Wellsville; two sisters Barbara (Dave) Treusdell of Belfast and Diane (Tim) Talbert of Frankfort, Indiana; several nieces and nephews; and her feline companion Sassy who she rescued from the streets.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her dog Max.
