 Tamara
Catherine Lautsch passed away at Lancaster General Hospital,
Monday, February 16, 2009 in Lancaster as a result of
complications of cancer.
She was born in Lancaster on,
March 8, 1961, the daughter of LaRue Lautsch and the late
Joseph M. Lautsch. She attended St. Anthony's School, and in 1979
was graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School, where she
played on the field hockey team. Following high school, she
attended Millersville State University, earning a bachelor's
degree in business administration with emphasis in marketing in
1983.
At the time of her death, Tamara
was employed at Lancaster General Hospital, in the aquatic
rehabilitation services unit. She was previously employed at
Brookshire Printing, and at Lebanon Valley College.
The youngest of eighteen
grandchildren, Tamara had a special affinity for people of her
parents and grandparents generation, developed during the summers
of her childhood when she went on frequent long visits to her
large extended family. She was dearly loved by all and was
referred to as the "little one".
Tam loved dogs-in many different
breeds, shapes, and sizes. A collector in a family of collectors,
Tam made frequent trips to area flea markets and swap meets with
her father in search of just the right thing. She was always
partial to sheep figurines and memorabilia, and anything covered
in flowers in the Victorian style.
In addition to her mother, Tamara
is survived by a sister, Pamela Lautsch-Bowman, and her husband,
James Bowman, of State College, and a nephew, Joseph J. Bowman,
his wife Holly, also of State College. Her dog, Ruffles, will
miss cuddling close with her.
