Tamara Kay Jorgenson McCann

Tamara Kay Jorgenson McCann, lovingly known as Tammy, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2025, in the presence of her three beloved sons. She was born on April 17, 1959, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was a caring mother, devoted sister, and cherished grandmother and great-grandmother.

Tammy is survived by her brother Mike Day (Phillis), and her three sons: Jeremy McCann (Jessica) and grandsons Tristen and Elijah; Brandon McCann (Caralee) and grandsons Colton, Boston, and Branson; and Christopher McCann (Amber) and granddaughters Emersyn and Ayva. Also her 3 great grandchildren Jaxyn, Raegyn, and Westley

She was preceded in death by her parents, Stanley Carpenter Jorgenson (Ida) and Rosalie Fitches.

Tammy had a deep love for music and conversation. Her daily phone calls with her boys and cousins were the highlight of her days—especially her twice-daily chats with her cousin Linda, with whom she shared an unbreakable bond. She found joy in connecting with others and was always the first to make sure those around her had everything they needed. Above all, her heart belonged to her three boys—they were her whole world. It was with their love surrounding her that she peacefully left this world.

She lived by the words:

“Don’t wait for things to get better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy right now, otherwise, you’ll run out of time.”

And she leaves us with the comfort of knowing:

“When we die, we go into the hearts of those who have loved us most. That way we’re together forever.”
