Sometimes in life,
your paths cross with someone
who ultimately changes you for the better.
This was the case when
Tammy Clark
came to Alpine Elementary
as the resource teacher.
Tammy really knew her stuff!
She really helped my resource kids!!!
When we had IEPs, I was always glad
when she was the resource teacher.

Not only did she teach resource at our school,
but she taught at the
University of Phoenix...teaching people
how to be resource teachers!
She also got a grant for our school to
provide iPads for the resource students,
teachers, and the 2nd graders!
BYU also had her doing work for them!

She did this all while having a tumor in her neck, and suffering
from a botched hysterectomy!

Tamara
Dawn (Orr) Clark passed away on Wednesday, February 12th, 2014, after
giving everything she had to those she loved. Born June 3, 1970, to
Ross Elmo Orr and the late MelloDee Oldham Orr, the fiery red-head would
have her share of challenges, blessings, and sacred experiences during
her short time here on earth. Having spent her entire life serving
others while dealing with internal turmoil
and strife only known to a few, she gracefully accepted the arms of her
loving Savior. Evidence of her love of service was seen on a daily
basis while she worked first with young children struggling to learn the
language of the land, and later with those challenged by their own
disabilities. Her love for the children she was responsible to teach
and provide opportunity for growth would often be more than her physical
body would allow her to express, but for her the children always came
first. With a huge heart and a deep rooted testimony of the love of her
Savior, Jesus Christ, she was able to openly affect the lives of so
many of those around her. Even in what ended being her last months of
mortality, she reached out to dear friends, expressed her love to long
lost friends, opened her heart to family, and gently coerced those
around her to keep them on the correct path, always helping and serving
others, even at the end.
Her love and influence continues to be felt by those she touched, and will be so dearly missed in a world so short on supply of people like Tammy.
Loved by many, especially her husband, Heath, and two children, Jaxon and Audrey, who still have so much to learn before they return to the arms of their loving wife and mother. Her love and kind ways can be summarized by a short verse penned by Chris DeGarmo:
"I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you...."
Services will be held for Tammy at the Highland Central Stake Center located at 5853 West 10400 North in Highland, Utah on Friday February 21, 2014, at 11:00am. Friends and family are invited to share time together on Thursday, February 20, 2014 from 6-8pm, and again on Friday morning from 9-10:30am at the same building.
The family expresses their love and thanksgiving to all who have truly been the Savior’s hands during these last few days of tender moments.

Heath posted this on Tammy's Facebook page:
- Thanks to all who attended the services and to those whose hearts where with us this past few days. To all the cousins, the friends, the work associates, the Chilean brother who allowed me a glimpse into the love Tammy had for the people of that land, the one "Jeff" in her life that wasn't intimidated by me and never needed to be, and to all those that came to show their love and support - Thank you all for being part of her life.
Heath
