Tammy June McPherson

Born in High Level, Alberta
Passed in Airdrie, Alberta
With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Tammy June McPherson, who left us peacefully on October 31, 2025, at the age of 59 after a courageous 14-month battle with cancer.
Born on October 11, 1966, in High Prairie, Alberta, Tammy was a bright light whose laughter and kindness touched everyone she met. If you knew Tammy, you were her friend - she had that rare gift of making everyone feel welcome and valued.
Tammy shared 33 wonderful years of marriage with her husband and partner-in-adventure, Vern McPherson. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and a little mischief. Whether they were out hunting, camping, or laughing about the times she found herself coated in mud, Tammy embraced every moment with joy and humour.
She was a devoted mom to her daughter Kelsey (Adam) and son Tanner, and a proud, loving grandma to Lindsay, who brought endless light (and trips to the Calgary Zoo) to her life. Tammy’s family was her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent together — especially the ones filled with laughter. Prior to meeting Vern, Tammy had two children, Joshua and Lindsay, whom she spoke of often with her family.
Tammy spent many years as part of the WestJet family, where she made lifelong friends and brightened every crew room she entered. Later, she followed her heart into childcare, working at a local daycare centre where she connected with every child, family, and coworker she met. Her caring spirit and positivity made her a favorite among both little ones and grown-ups alike.
Tammy is lovingly remembered by her husband Vern; daughter Kelsey (Adam); son Tanner; granddaughter Lindsay; and many aunties, uncles, extended family, and countless friends who were blessed to know her. She was predeceased by her beloved mother, Doreen. Tammy’s smile and laughter will carry on in the hearts of all who knew her. Though she may be gone from this world, the light she brought will shine forever.
