Tammy "Tame" Austin

February 12, 1963 — December 27, 2024

Tammy "Tame" Jean Austin, a beloved mother, sister, daughter and friend, who peacefully departed this life on December 27, 2024, at the age of 61. Born on February 12, 1963, to Richard and Mary (Behrens) Winchel, Tammy resided in Winona, Minnesota, where she touched the lives of many with her kindness, warmth, and unwavering faith.

Tammy was a devoted mother to her son, Andrew, who was the light of her life. Her Christian faith was a cornerstone of her life, providing her strength and peace even in life's toughest moments.

Tammy had an extraordinary ability to brighten the lives of those around her with her infectious smile. Her joy was palpable, especially during visits and phone calls with her siblings, Diane, Johnny and Dwayne. Their bond was unbreakable, and their time together was filled with laughter and cherished memories.

A proud graduate of McCollum High School, Tammy furthered her education at Great Falls College - Montana State University, where her thirst for knowledge and personal growth flourished. She had a profound love for animals, particularly dogs, who she considered an integral part of her family.

Tammy will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her legacy of love, compassion, and joy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her son, Andrew; sister, Diane; brothers, Johnny and Dwayne.

Tame is preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Mary Winchel; sisters, Loretta and Carol; and brother Daniel.

Tammy will be laid to rest at Forest-Burr Cemetery in Hillsboro, Wisconsin next to her father and sister, Loretta.

Much thanks and appreciation for the outstanding high quality and loving care that "Tame" received from the doctors, nurses and staff at Watkins Senior Living, St. Anne's Extended Health Care, Winona Health and Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center.
