Tamara (Tammy) Elizabeth Page, 55, passed away on April 7, 2020.

Tammy was born May 11, 1964 to Sandra and Stanley Page in Boothbay Harbor, Maine She attended Boothbay schools, graduating in 1982 from Boothbay Region High School.

Soon after graduation her adventurous spirit took her to Tucson, Arizona for nine years where she worked as a CNA, attended nursing school at the University of Arizona and Pima Community College and held various positions in restaurants.

In 1991, she made her way back home to the Boothbay region. She went to work at the Union Street Diner where people loved her and the food she prepared. Soon after settling into small town life she gave birth to her three beautiful children, the loves of her life, Jasmine, Olivia and Mitchell Partner. For the next 12 years Tammy raised her children, nurturing them, striving to be the best mom she could be, and she was, until alcohol addiction slowly took over her life.

We want Tammy to be remembered for who she truly was. She was an amazing culinary artist. Everyone looked forward to every festive dish she brought to holiday dinners. Tammy’s Mexican bean dip will be a recipe cherished for future generations. She was the type of person who cared so deeply for others, always wanting to take care of everyone and everything. Her love of animals was beyond measure and her cat Spice was her constant companion. She loved gardening and definitely did not get her green thumb from her mother. She was never on time and waiting for Tammy took years off the lives of the people who loved her. She was enamored by Native American culture and design which began as a young child and never left her.

Tammy, with that special twinkle in her eye, was always ready with a huge hug and her endearing smile. Her sweet, beautiful soul will always be loved and terribly missed on this earth. Please remember that Tamara.

She is survived by her parents; her three children, Jasmine and partner David Vitali, Olivia and fiancée Tucker Lewis, Mitchell Partner; and their father, Vaughn Partner. She is also survived by sisters, Julie Markee and husband Ken, Jennifer Page Osman and husband Mohamed; nieces, Jacquelyn Markee and fiancée Bryan Peters, Page Markee and fiancée Thomas Pickett, and Aryn Markee; three nephews, Kameron Markee, Joseph Markee and Zaid Osman; a great niece, Mia Gorey; and a great nephew, Kolton Brewer. Tamara is also survived by her partner of 12 years, Steve Giles, and her dearest friend, Donna Giles.
