Tammy Marie Neal, a cherished soul known for the love for her children and grandchildren, passed away peacefully on August 10, 2025, in Springfield, Ohio. Born on March 23, 1968, in Dayton, Ohio, Tammy’s life was a statement about the simplicity and joy she found in her grandchildren. Tammy was the beloved daughter of the late Ralph Lee Neal and Ruby Irene (Wilson) Neal. Her spirit, a blend of her parents’ kindness and resilience, shine brightly throughout her life. Tammy’s legacy continues through her children Tony Arden and his wife Jessica, Tina Arden, Ruby Arden and Anthony Arden. Her siblings Bobbie Chambers, Margaret Chambers, Jerry Birt and John and Melissa Birt and the love she had for all her grandchildren will be fondly remembered. God saw she was getting tired, and the cure was not to be. So, he put his arms around her and whispered, “Come with me.” With tearful hearts we watched her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us; he only takes the best. There are no services planned for Tammy. Arrangements are being handled by JONES-KENNEY-ZECHMAN FUNERAL HOME. Condolences may be shared at www.jkzfh.com
