TAMRA HISSOM BUDD

1961-2018

Tamra Hissom Budd of Houston, Texas passed on to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, the 5th of January 2018, after a hard fought battle against cancer.

She was a member of Second Baptist Church since 1992. Tami loved her family, extended family, her dogs, and when her health permitted often played tennis five days a week. After being diagnosed with Lung Cancer (as a non-smoker) she became very active with Lung Cancer Alliance, supporting their annual lung walk in Houston and started a Tennis Tournament to raise awareness and funds for LCA. Tami had an infectious smile and was described by many as: amazing woman, full of life, brave, kind heart, beautiful, and a blessing to know.

She was preceded in passing by her father, Ronnie J Hissom and her mother, Gwen D. Sharp. She is survived by her husband, Keith W. Budd; son Cooper Hissom Budd; her step daughter Kimberly Budd Ryan and her husband Mark Ryan. Her grandchildren Kate Ryan and Carson Ryan referred to her as GT. She is also survived by her brother Robert Hissom, and sisters: Caroline Hissom Wallace, Julia Hissom Elkayam , Alexandra Hissom-Buell. She was also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service is to be conducted at eleven o’clock in the morning on Thursday, the 11th of January, in the Jasek Chapel of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.
