May 2, 1973 – July 29, 2025
Tamara “Tammy” Marie Snyder, age 52, of Pueblo West, Colorado, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. Tammy was a vibrant and compassionate soul who made her home in Pueblo West for nearly three decades after previously residing in Colorado Springs.
Born on May 2, 1973, in Lawton, Oklahoma, Tammy was the beloved daughter of Nolan Ray Gore and Irlene Ruby Gore (Hall). She graduated from Wasson High School and later continued her education at Pueblo Community College, where she earned her degree for Visual Communications & Graphic Design in 2018.
On June 26, 1992, Tammy married the love of her life, Michael Allen Snyder, at First United Methodist Church in Colorado Springs. Together, they built a life grounded in love, faith, and family.
For 13 years, Tammy dedicated herself to her role as a Customer Service Agent at FedEx, where she was known for her warm smile, helpful nature, and genuine care for others. Her love for photography, the outdoors, and simple moments spent with family and friends reflected the beauty she saw in the world around her.
Tammy is lovingly remembered by her husband of 33 years, Michael Snyder; her children, Chase (Nicole) Snyder and Emily Snyder; her mother, Irlene Gore; and her siblings, Carla (John) Holley, Pattie (Jeff) Brooks, and Wade Gore.
She is preceded in death by her father, Nolan Gore, and her brother, Chris Gore.

Tammy’s light, laughter, and unwavering love will be dearly missed and forever cherished by all who had the joy of knowing her.
Tammy was a kind, beautiful, compassionate woman who brought light into darkness. Her candle will be missed. My prayers and sympathy go out to our nephew Mike, his children, and Tammy’s Mom and siblings and her many friends. Aunt Linda
Mike, Chase, Emily and the Gore/Snyder families,
I am so sorry to hear of Tammy’s passing. She always brightened any room she entered. She welcomed Dave, Justine, and I with an hug every time we saw her. May the memories of her warm your heart and being a smile to your face.
I worked with Tammy for several years when she was at Hobby lobby she was an employee in my frame shop and was always a joy to have around. She would share her stories of her life with Mike and she was looking forward to having her first born baby. She moved to Pueblo with her family, than years later I saw her again at a Walmart in Pueblo West and she shared that she had cancer and was successfully being treated for the condition. I had admired her strength and courage, she was facing a devil of a disease head on, and she wasn’t about to back down. I feel grateful that I had the opportunity to know Tammy and work with her she was such a sweetheart and a good friend. My condolences to Mike and the children, and the rest of Tammy‘s family. I am so sorry for your loss she will be greatly missed. RIP TAMMY
