Tamara Bellrose
June 26th, 2021
It is with extreme sadness that we are devastated to announce the sudden passing of Tamara Bellrose on Saturday, June 26, 2021 at the age of 33 ½ short years.
Tam was an absolute ray of sunshine. Everyone who knew her was well aware of her generous nature and her lust for life. “Tama Llama” was a social person who loved every moment she spent with her friends and family. As a baby “bunny”, her mother couldn’t even peel potatoes without Tam pulling on her pant leg. She wanted to sit on the counter to be closer to her. She had a way of touching the lives of every person she met for the better, as she was able to see the good in every person, whether they deserved it or not.
Everyone that knew her was well aware of her generous nature. Tam exuded gratitude in everything she did. She was grateful for every gift, regardless of monetary value, but giving was her true nature and happiness. She loved sharing her favorite things in life, from the jewelry she created, her succulent and fairy gardens and her collections. If you needed a random part for an obscure item, she would find it in her collections for you. This girl was a person we could all look up to for her strong moral compass and she worked hard to strive to be a better person every single day. She loved nothing more than to tell us about her job. She had finally found the career path that brought her infinite joy. For 2 years in a row, she drove the cat school bus for LP3 in Harbour Landing. “Her Kids” meant the world to her and watching them grow and develop made her heart full.
Tamara leaves us to join her Gramma Vera Bellrose, Grandma and Grampa Bev and Ron Wagner and her cherished pups Chino and Akamaru.
Tamara leaves behind to forever mourn her love Thomas Fisher; her mom Charlene Bellrose; her father Ken Wagner; honorary father Cory Livingston; her sister and best friend Christine Bellrose; as well as her favorite people in the world her nieces Jaydenn and Kyley Bellrose and her beloved pup Kiba. She is also survived by her aunties and uncles Hubert, Joe (Dixie), Howard, Roxanne, George (Carla), Wayne (Sam), Lori (Ken) and Shelley (Frank); so many cousins and SO many good friends. Rachelle was her sister-friend. Cari was her friend since they were in preschool. There are entirely all too many to name but you know who you are. Oh, what we wouldn’t all give to hear your “eee!!” or your “WHOOO!!” one more time.
We have decided to honor her request that she didn’t want a funeral. Her Love Thomas will be having an informal gathering for his “Sweetie” at a later date once restrictions are fully lifted, details to follow.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you honor her legacy. Please do a kindness for someone that will bring them joy, whatever that may be for them. We thank everyone who has reached out and thank you all for your understanding with not wanting guests at this time.
Tam had the biggest heart of anyone we knew and the world is a little darker now without her in it.

My deepest condolences to the whole family. My heart breaks for your loss.
Tamaras energy is and always has been one that does not wane; an empath on a mission to live life to the fullest, and leave everyone stronger, happier, and wiser in her path. She was an inspiration to many on how to treat others well. Though our paths grew apart in recent years, it was always like seeing my sister again when we'd meet. The shock will diminish, but her memory is forever.
To my dear friends Ken and Christine and the rest of your family, my heart truly goes out to you and to everyone touched by the loss of Tamara. She was an amazing person filled with love and kindness. Stay strong my friends, I love you.
