Tammy M. Howey

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Tammy Marie Howey (Oliver). Tammy was born on a very cold winter day, December 26th of 1965 at the Lynch Clinic in Fairbury, Ne. Tammy was 60 years and 7 mos. at the time of her passing on July 17, 2026 at JCHL while sleeping. Her family and friends will forever remember her generosity.

At a young age she moved to Friend, Ne where she was baptized at the Congregational Church on March 27, 1966. She later moved back to Fairbury when she was adopted by Charles Endorf while she attended Fairbury Public Schools and Grace Lutheran Church where she was confirmed on April 12, 1981.

Tammy later moved to Denver, Co. and worked as a housekeeper where she met Ron Brandt and was blessed with a son, Clayton Brandt. During this time, she also worked at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Denver, Co.

Tammy later met Steve, whom she married on November 4, 2002. For some time, they lived in Colorado Springs while she had her own business, Howey Housekeeping and Maintenance. They loved fishing and getting away in the mountains for much needed breaks. They again moved to Fairbury, Ne where she was a housekeeper and was a lifetime member of the local VFW post.

Tammy was preceded in death by her son, Clayton Brandt in 2019; brother Clifford Endorf in 1991 as well as all grandparents, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Tammy is survived by her husband Steve Howey of Fairbury; Parents Charles and Kay Endorf of Fairbury; youngest brother Burnie Endorf and family of Plattsmouth, Ne, as well as several family members that will miss her in the coming days.

Tammy was laid to rest on July 21, 2026, at Fairbury Cemetery with family in attendance for the graveside service. There will also be Church service celebrating her life on July 28, 2026, at 11:00 am at Grace Lutheran Church in Fairbury, Ne. Memorials may be made in care of the Fairbury Cemetery.
