Tammy Poppler

Tammy Kay Poppler, age 60, gained her wings, Tuesday, January 10th, 

Surrounded by her loving family at the Saint Cloud Hospital. We would like to thank all the ICU staff that took wonderful care of Tammy and our family.  

Tammy was born in Waseca Mn and is the daughter of Ronald and Kay Poppler. 

She enjoyed shopping, camping, thrift stores, reading, driving her mustang, and listening to all music. She was always buying jewelry, or as she would call it, her “Bling”. She would never turn down the opportunity to head to Red Lobster, or out for Chinese. 

She adored her children and daughter-in-law Jennifer in every way. Tammy enjoyed spending her time with them going camping. She loved the outdoors. She loved to spend time with Rachel’s (family friend) children, Derek, Jeremiah, and Emilee, whom she loved like grandchildren. 

Tammy will be remembered for her loving, giving, and caring personality. Tammy was an amazing mother, daughter, sister, and friend. 

Tammy is survived by her two children, Zachary (Jennifer) Pillatzke of Marietta, MN and Kelsey Pillatzke of Sauk Centre, MN; parents, Ronald and Kay Poppler of Waseca, MN, siblings, Troy Poppler (Katrina Rahier) of Lares, Puerto Rico, Victoria (Rafi) Quader of Minnetonka, MN and Sara (Wes) Ruedy of Waseca, MN; nieces, Saffron, Kayley, Riley and Jaime, nephews, Joseph, Creed, Tyseer, Colten, Clint, and Dylan. One great niece Shyla May.

Many cousins, and friends whom she adored to the end. 

Tammy is preceded in death by her son, Brandon Steven, sister, Debra Howen, nephew, Tyler Poppler, and great niece, Dawn Lynn. 

Services will be held Saturday January 28th at St. Joseph’s Church, in Rosen, MN. 

The visitation will be at 10:00 a.m., one hour prior to service at 11:00am. 

Tammy was the sunshine on a cloudy day, and joy in so many people’s lives, she always had a caring soul and would be there for anyone that she could. 

She will be dearly missed.
