Tammy Jean Easley Hobgood, 60, of Zachary LA, died peacefully at home after a short battle with an aggressive cancer on Thursday, November 16th 2023 at 10:45 am.
She was born in Clinton, Louisiana to Clayton (CL) Laverne Easley and Glenda Pittman Easley. Tammy was a graduate of Jackson High School and worked in the Security industry for years.
Tammy was preceded in death by her father, Clayton Laverne Easley, her mother Glenda Pittman Easley, her nephew William Easley, her sister-in-law, Dawn Easley her brother-in-law Johnnie Shuff and numerous other loved ones.
Everyone who knew Tammy knew her love of softball. A proud moment in her life was when -at the age of 12 she played baseball with Dixie Youth Baseball. She was the first female player in the state to accomplish this and was featured in Sports Illustrated. She then went on to continue to play numerous softball and co-ed leagues, making life-long friends along the way.
Though she loved softball, baseball and band, Tammy’s favorite role was that as a grandparent. She treasured her time with her grandkids and loved being their Memaw, never failing to show them how much she loved them every chance she got.
Tammy had an optimism and love of life that was contagious to all those around her. She was the definition of a people person and was the one that “got things done.” To know Tammy was to love Tammy. There will forever be an empty spot in our hearts and an empty chair on the front porch.
She is survived by her wife of 26 years, Robin Griffin White. Her children, Brandi Hobgood (Herschel Behr), Haley Hobgood, Rachel White, Joseph White, and Brittany Warren. Grandchildren, Landon Behr, Dominic Behr, Daniel Behr, Kayahna Netherland, Rainey Wilkinson and Makena Hobgood. Sister, Carolyn (Tidy) Easley Shuff. Brother, Clayton (Charlie) Laverne Easley.

I’ll miss the phone calls on Saturday and Sunday asking if LSU or The saints play. I’ll miss the arguments that we would get into to only the next day get a call like nothing ever happen. I’ll miss the happy father’s day I would tell you and pick with you about to only get a Happy Father’s Day back. The birthdays. Holidays or just coming to your house and watching TV with you. But most of all I will miss you my sweet sister and love you. Till we meet again hugs and hit a Homer for me in heaven

The passing of Mrs. TAMMY hit me kinda hard. Meeting her was a wonderful experience. Her daughter Haley Hobgood has been my friend for many years. I’ll forever love Mrs Tammy. She treated my kids and I like family and we loved her like she was our family. She will be forever in our hearts and forever missed. To the family I’m send my deepest sympathy and love. I’ll definitely be praying for you all strength and peace.
