It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Retired Lieutenant Tammy Brummitt.
–
A dedicated servant to Knox County, Tammy was more than a deputy—she was a compassionate soul who touched countless lives. She never hesitated to help those in need, whether by buying a meal or offering kindness, especially when children were involved.
–
Sheriff Tom Spangler and Chief Deputy Bernie Lyon are deeply saddened by this loss, as Tammy was truly loved by all who knew her. Her legacy of generosity and service will not be forgotten.
–
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
