Tami L. Moore

Tami L. Moore, age 60, of St. Johnsbury, VT passed away on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at her sister’s home.

Tami was born in St. Johnsbury on June 28, 1963, to the late Robert W. and late Ruth (Drew) Moore.

She attended the Living Arts Center and graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy Living Arts Program.  For the last 24 years, Tami has lived with her sister Sherry and Jack in St. Johnsbury.

When Tami was young, she loved her time at Silver Towers Camp in Ripton, VT where she spent two weeks every summer.  Tami participated in the Special Olympics and was very proud of her accomplishments and the medals she won.  Tami loved music and could be heard happily singing along to her favorite songs. She also enjoyed camping, visiting Old Orchard Beach, and traveling with her partner and fiancé Gary Place.

Downs Syndrome may have been her handicap, but anyone who knew Tami would say that it was her gift.  Her warmth, innocence, and wit, along with her contagious smile endeared her to everyone she met along life’s path. Tami always had fond memories of her time working at Burke Mtn. and White Market Plaza Store.

Survivors include her two sisters: Susan Mackay (Maitland) of Lyndonville, VT, Sherry Stahler (Jack Savasta) of St. Johnsbury; and her brother: Jeffrey Moore (Michael Robey) of Westmore, her fiancé, and life partner Gary Place of  East Haven VT;  her nieces: Tineka Holk (Boyd) of Londonderry, NH, Lee Penniman of St Johnsbury;  Lori Fortier (Mark) of Lyndonville, and Pam Kinder (Jim) of North Haverhill, NH along with many great nieces, nephews, and special Sister in law Jan Oliver.

Tami was predeceased by her Parents, her brother Michael Moore, sister-in-law Debbie Moore, and nephew Ty Penniman.

Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, October 26, 2023, during the hours of 4-7 PM at Sayles Funeral Home, 525 Summer Street, St. Johnsbury, VT.  A graveside service will be held for the family at the Lyndon Center Cemetery on Friday October 27.

The family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to Hazel Clark and Linda Samson for the care, support, and compassion given to Tami over the years.
