 Tamara Ann Kessler (Radziewicz), lovingly known to family and friends as
"Tammy," 64, of Largo, FL. passed away
on February 19, 2026. Formerly residing in Lowville, NY, Tammy was a
graduate of Richfield Springs High School. She married her husband, Scott,
on November 11, 2023, was Catholic in faith, and she was a member of the
Lowville Fire Department Aux. from 1988 to 2019, as well as the American
Legion Aux. since 2012. Before her time working as a home cleaner in
Largo's Ranchero Village, Tammy spent 20 years as a cook at a prominent
restaurant in Lowville, NY, known as Gary's. In her spare time, Tammy enjoyed
having girls' night with her friends, playing cards and table-top games,
visiting the beach, watching sunsets, and especially spending time with her
beloved family. She had a knack for organization, making everyone she
encountered smile, and generally being a social butterfly. Though she knew
very little about sports herself, she always looked forward to football
parties, as they were just another chance for her to socialize and get
excited with others about their teams, ("Go Buffalo!"). She will
be most remembered by her loved ones for the unique sound of her contagious
laughter and for having the biggest, most loving heart.
Tammy is survived
by her loving husband, Scott Kessler; her daughter, Jessica Allen (who she
playfully nicknamed "Jessa Wheezy"); her grandchildren, Hunter
Canfield, Makaylie Canfield, Lillie Vunk, Trinitie Barker, Kendra Allen,
and Jordan Allen; her siblings, Chris Burgy, Terry Radziewicz, Sandy
Radziewicz, and Robbie Radziewicz; and her parents, Leonard and Fran
Radziewicz. She is predeceased by her son, Stephen Allen, who passed away
in 2019.
A celebration of
Tammy's life will take place from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm on Saturday, February
21, 2026, at the Hacienda Clubhouse in Ranchero Village. A second
celebration of her life will be held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Saturday,
March 7, 2026, at the Lowville Fire Department in Lowville, NY. Both events
will have food available afterward for guests.
In lieu of
flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Tammy's honor to Suncoast
Hospice Mid Pinellas Care Center and/or the Fire Department Aux. Team in Lowville, NY.
