A Celebration of Life will be held at New Haven Church of the Brethren, Middleton, MI, on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 2-8 P.M.
Tammie was born in Owosso, MI, on November 8, 1965, the daughter of Gerald A. Munro and Carolyne Mae (Henderson) Sawyer. She attended Merrill High School, and would go on to work various jobs in the area before becoming a full-time mother to her wonderful children. Tammie married the love of her life, Darrin "Buzz" Trefil on May 4th, 2011, in Ithaca, MI, after spending 20 years together. They were married for over 14 years.
Tammie loved to hang out with friends, family, and fur babies. You could always find her up north with her extended family during the summer time. Tammie was a fighter, and a very strong-minded woman. She was a caretaker to everyone in her life, and was never afraid to speak her mind. She was the type of person who would give you the shirt off her back, or just be there for you during a time of need.
She is survived by her husband Darrin "Buzz" Trefil; her children: Kellie Jo Dicken, Shelbie Dayle Williams, Tyler Andrew Dicken, and many other children in her life; her grandson Jacob Andrew Feichtenbiner; her brothers: Dannie (Karen) Munro, Mike (Kay-Lani) Munro, John (Dawn) Munro, Albert (Brenda) Sawyer, and Clinton (Shannon) Sawyer; many nieces and nephews; and her fur baby Miggy Jean. Tammie is preceded in death by her parents, her cousins: Deb Munro, John Munro, and Sherry Munro; and her best friend John Melow.
The family would like to give a special thanks to Kathy Dicken and Sharon Williams for always being mother figures to Tammie throughout her life.
Memorials may be made to the wishes of the family. Online condolences can be sent to www.smithfamilyfuneralhomes.com. The family is being served by Smith Family Funeral Homes, Ithaca, Michigan.
