Tammy Lynn Brock was born January 27, 1966 in Camilla, GA, the daughter of Jerry & Patsy Hayes Brock. After high school, Tammy married Greg Dean and they made their home in Decatur County. Three years ago, Tammy & Greg moved north to Hiawassee where she worked as the office manager at Hiawassee Family Dental. She was a member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church.
Tammy was known for her connection to others. She enjoyed gatherings of family and friends especially when a meal was being served. She would decorate for most any occasion: a wedding, a holiday, or just a Tuesday if she took the notion. Tammy was willing to help those in need and often rallied her “connections” to the cause. Fishing was a favorite sport but boating on the Flint River or Lake Chatuge is where the good stories originated. She loved the Alabama Crimson Tide and shouted, “Roll Tide!” with pride. Tammy spoiled her grandchildren and made it known being MiMi was the best job she ever landed.
Survivors include her husband of 37 years, Greg Dean of Hiawassee; her son, Kyle Dean and his wife, Alexies, of Brasstown, NC; her grandchildren, Caleb, Gavin, Hunter, Gabe, and Paityn-Lynn; and her brothers, Brian Brock and his wife, Ramonda, of Camilla, GA and Daniel Brock of Pelham, GA; and a host of extended family. In addition to her parents, Tammy was preceded in death by her daughter, Brandy Dean; and her nephew, Cameron Brock.
