Principal

Obituary:

Tammy Russell Cannon, 52, of Mead, OK went home to be with our Lord on Dec. 13, 2020.

Tammy was born March 27, 1968, to Glen and Billie Russell. She attended Allen High School in Allen, Oklahoma. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and a Master’s degree from East Central Oklahoma State University. Students in all levels of education in both Texas and Oklahoma were blessed by her award-winning career as an educator. Most recently she served as the principal of Westward Elementary in Colbert, Oklahoma.

Tammy loved to make new memories and have unique experiences. More than that she enjoyed sharing those experiences with family. She loved to camp, hike, and explore. Many a cousin can still recall adventures in which they were led by Tammy. She had an uncompromising love for family and friends, to which we should all strive.

She is survived by Todd Stringfellow of Mead; her sons Ben, Mason, and Jacob Whipkey of Norman; her father Glen and his wife Norma of Mead; and her sister Tracey and her husband Eric of Wylie, Texas.

She was welcomed to Eternal Glory by her Mother Billie.

The family has requested at this time the service not be open to the public. Covid took their precious Tammy and it is their hope that by doing this that no other family suffers the same unimaginable loss, as a result of their gathering to bid farewell, for now, to Tammy.

They will celebrate her life together with you at a safer, later date TBD and invite you all to come share your stories of how Tammy touched your lives.
The family wishes to thank all those who have reached out and offered support, love, and prayers.
