Tama Jo Hacker

Tama Jo Hacker, 66, of Sycamore, passed away Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at her residence after a five year battle with cancer.

Tama was born on April 15, 1958 in Tiffin, to the late Arthur “Bud” and Isobel (Bland) Burroughs. On July 24, 1976, she married Gerry W. Hacker in Bloomville and he survives in Sycamore.

Other survivors include, her son, Jason W. Hacker of Sycamore, daughter, Kacy (Randal, her favorite son-in-law) Leeth of Sycamore, two grandchildren, Blayc, of Bowling Green and Cole of Sycamore, and a sister, Debra Burroughs of Tiffin.

Tama worked as a Lab Tech for Diamond Wipes Incorporated in Bucyrus and worked several years at the Corner Restaurant in Bloomville. She was a 1976 graduate of Tiffin Columbian High School. Tama was a hard working woman and got along with everyone until you ticked her off and then you would know it. She would also answer to her grandson, Cole as “Red”. Tama enjoyed gardening, her flowers, sitting on the deck looking at the pond, fishing, going to casinos, sewing, watching the grandchildren’s sporting events, hanging out with her best friend, Gayle and cousins, Dee and Darren.

The family would like to thank all the staff at Findlay Bridge Hospice especially Sarah, for their exceptional care giving to Tama during this difficult time.

There will be a private family service held at Pleasant View cemetery in Bloomville. The Lindsey-Shook Funeral Home in Bloomville is assisting the family with their arrangements.

Memorial contributions may be made to Bridge Hospice.
