Tamara “Tami” Susan Koepl, age 52, passed away at home in the arms of her loving husband and surrounded by family on March 24, 2023, in Chetek, Wisconsin, after a three year fight with liver cancer, which she fought long and hard with such bravery.

Tami was born on February 11, 1971, in Minnesota. She moved to Chippewa Falls as a child where she attended Notre Dame school and graduated from McDonell High School in 1989. She then attended Chippewa Valley Technical College. Tami loved doing crafts and making cards with her tribe of friends. She spent many crafting retreats as being the life of the party. She was known for her quick wit and sense of humor and had many people laughing in stitches. She enjoyed spending her time outdoors, whether it was 4-wheeling, camping at Morris-Erickson campground, boating, & snowmobiling. Tami also loved riding motorcycles. However, her favorite thing to do was to spend time with her family & dogs making memories.

Tami is survived by her loving husband, Jeff, and sons, Tucker Allen & Jefferson Riley. She is also survived by her family, numerous aunts & uncles, cousins, and friends. She is also survived by her three loving dogs, Legend, Bella & Penny, who will miss her dearly.

The family would like to thank Mayo/Rochester Cancer Center and Marshfield Clinic/Rice Lake Cancer Center and Hospice, along with her team of compassionate and dedicated doctors who treated Tami. She was so appreciative and thankful for each and every one of you.

Tami will be greatly missed by so many of her family and friends.Fly high Tami!
