  Born Tammy Lynn Tadej on October 25, 1968 at Fort Riley Military Base in Kansas to Robert and Diana (Hauck) Tadej. Tammy attended Wilmington schools then Lockport East Highschool. Having her only child, Ronald W Molaschi Jr, in 1986, they moved to Kinsman, IL where she met her future husband, Greg. They were married October 3, 1998 surrounded by family, friends, and neighbors celebrating with hay rack rides, a cook out, and music. What a beautiful start to their life.

  This vivacious woman enjoyed farming with her husband for 25+ years. Ronald alongside them, all living the American dream. She found so much happiness running the sweet corn stands in Streator, Ottawa, and Morris, indulging in socialization with the community. 

  Spending time with family, especially her grandkids: Bill and Natalie, was very important to her. She loved spending time with her nieces and nephews as well. She was always taking the kids to the pool, skating, movies, or carnivals. Tammy was the light of the family. She loved entertaining and grilling her specialty, barbecue chicken. 

  Beaches were her favorite vacation spot, especially Fort Myers, Florida. Soaking up the sun and sticking her toes in the sand with her sunhat on was her ideal vacation. 

  She was a horse enthusiast, owning 3 horses in her life: Lucky, Precious, and Beau. Riding through state parks with her horses was the beauty she loved in life. Tammy was known to be very caring, funny, smart, giving, and family oriented. This beautiful soul will be dearly missed.

Molashi and Bill Fossett; her mother, Diana Hauck; brothers, Jefferey (Lisa)

Tadej, Gregory Tadej and Jason Tadej; sisters, Dawn McRae Tadej and Nancy Sondgernoph. Numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews also survived. Many lifelong friends as well.
