Tami Linn Brett Rivard

Age 48 of Lindstrom. Loving Mom, Sister & Aunt, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2023.
Preceded in death by parents, David & Linda Brett.

Tami was a loving mother who loved her daughters with her whole heart. She graduated from Chisago Lakes High School and spent her twenties and thirties immersed in the lives of her girls as a Girl Scout mom, school volunteer, volleyball cheerleader, marching band supporter, and shared her love of flowers and the outdoors with her daughters and family. Her love of the outdoors and specifically the North Shore came from her mother, Linda. In the past few years, Tami would be found gardening, spending time with her family, sitting in the sun, visiting her grand puppies, and listening to true crime podcasts. She will be greatly missed by her friends and family. We all take comfort in the fact that she is hanging out and catching up with her mom Linda.
A celebration of Tami’s life 4-7 PM Thursday, May 18th at Roberts Family Funeral Home, Forest Lake. Memorials preferred to the family.

Tami and I have been friends since High School. We had physics class together and I recall she didn’t like me peaking at her paper during a test✌️. She was so beautiful inside and out. Very level headed always. Truly A Loyal Friend. She helped me with my home daycare when our Girls were Toddlers and baby’s. Jade and Macy/Ashly and Amanda. Your mom was very hard working, a very admired focused mother. She paid attention to details which I loved witnessing. Tami and I put our daughters Ashly and Jade in Swimming classes at the Chisago pool. Her and I shared many moments together in our early 20’s. I visited you kids when you lived in Oakdale. Later I learned you moved to Buffalo. I still have her No Fail Banna Bread recipe which is cherished by all 4 of my children to this day. Absolutely the best banna bread! Anyways, I did have several great conversations with Tami while she worked at Menards. We talked about getting together to walk and talk. I guess this is a reminder that I need to put my words in action sooner then later. I am absolutely shocked to hear of her loss of life. I did scroll through her Facebook and enjoyed seeing she got to see Jade and Macy get Married. I seen vacations, smiles, sunflowers, puppies, kitties, funny Pics/videos, positive words, and inspirations. I felt Reviewing her Facebook that her life had many Greats. I’m happy to hear there was no suffering. I do feel She was too young to leave this earth. Tami and I had the same Faith. I do believe in the Holy Spirit. I trust she will be with you Jade and Macy, I would love to watch you grow your families. I am on Facebook. If you are, I hope we can stay connected with you girls. Air hugs
Remembering you and Tami in our minds and in our hearts.
Love, Aunt LaVonne and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I will always remember your mother as being a beautiful mother of the bride. I didn’t know her very well, but the times I was with her she seemed like a lovely lady.
