Tammy Hockenberry

“FAIRFIELD, PA. — GOOD – Tammy (Hockenberry), passed away at the age of 47 on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011, in Fairfield, Pa., after bravely battling ovarian cancer the past four years. Born May 12, 1964, in Johnstown, daughter of Roger and Carol Good; and sister of Kevin Good. Survived by husband, Frederick Hockenberry; stepchildren, Kenneth and Jennifer Hockenberry; as well as her parents Roger and Carol Good. In accordance with Tammy’s wishes, a memorial service celebrating her life will be held at a date to be determined. Tammy was an inspiration to us all, an admiration, and well-loved by all those who came to meet her.”  Click here for a link to this story.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Fred Hockenberry and his family.  “As well all know, Tammy was an incredible woman of grace, dignity and compassion. She lived her life bravely fighting this disease and never complained about why it had to be her, though she had plenty of reason to do so. And in the end, she passed the same way she lived; with grace, dignity and compassion.”  — Fred Hockenberry

R.O.A.R! would like to offer sincere thanks to those who have made memorial donations to R.O.A.R! in Tammy’s honor.  To date, we have received about $715.00 in her honor.  These funds will be used to support R.O.A.R! in continuing its mission of ovarian cancer awareness.
