Tammee Jean Hansen was called home on Nov. 20, 2014. A longtime Sitka resident, she was in Gustavus, where she had lived for about six months. She was 54.
Tammee was born on June 15, 1960, in Enumclaw, Wash., the daughter of William James Konoske and Jeannette Anne Konoske.
Tammee’s family moved to Sitka when she was a child, and she attended Sitka schools. She was known by many in Southeast by her ever-present smile.
She worked at Sitka Community Hospital and Harry’s.
She served on the Sitka Planning Commission.
Tammee loved to spend time with her grandchildren, camping with family, working in the garden, and walking the Starrigavin boardwalk with her beloved dachshund Miss T, and dear friend Jackie LaGuire.
She was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents Robert and Ruth Konoske, and Jack and Freda Louise (Sally) McLeod; and her aunt Robin Williamson.
She is survived by her siblings, Jullee Wright of Sitka, Bill Konoske of Stevenson, Wash., and Matt Konoske, Sitka; and children Renee Patrick of Gustavus, Kyle Hansen and Kory Hansen, both of Sitka, and Jeannette Hansen, of Portland, Ore.
Also surviving are her son-in-law Sean Patrick of Gustavus and daughter-in-law Lindy Eliason-Hansen, of Sitka; grandchildren Jonah Patrick, Alyssa Patrick, Jacob Patrick, Nataley Patrick, Amellia Patrick, Phinly Patrick, Rita Hansen and Grace Hansen; and great-nephew Charlie Wright.
Many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, honorary grandchildren and friends also survive.
Celebrations of her life will take place in Gustavus, Sitka, and a favorite camping spot of hers in Cougar Wash., all in the summer of 2015.
