Tamara “Tammy” Jean Rawlings, a beloved native of Warner Robins, passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, September 22, 2025. She was 52 years old.

Born on October 3, 1972, Tammy was the loving daughter of Everett “Gene” and Sandy Helms. From an early age, she was known for her brilliant mind, her deep faith, and her dedication to serving others.

A woman of intelligence and conviction, Tammy was a devoted member of Phi Mu at Georgia College and maintained a love for education throughout her life. She taught at Central Georgia Technical College and her passion for learning carried over to her children. She always encouraged growth, curiosity, and the pursuit of truth.

Her faith in Jesus was the cornerstone of her life. Tammy lived as a witness to God’s love. She was genuine, joyful, and unafraid to speak truth with compassion. Tammy poured her heart into service, especially through her work with the prison ministry at Southside Baptist Church. Her advocacy for justice and her care for others were reflections of her strong moral compass and enduring empathy.

Tammy’s love for her family was also evident in every part of her life. She loved and respected her husband deeply, honoring the bond they shared with trust and kindness. She especially adored their children and supported them with unconditional love.

Those who knew Tammy will remember her for her laughter, her radiant joy, and her love of traveling and chocolate. She was a woman of depth and light, always grounded in her values, and overflowing with happiness and humor. Her memory will remain a blessing to all who had the privilege of loving her.
