Tiffany Hammond

Tiffany was born in Dayton, Ohio and was adopted by Debra M. Edmonds (Hammond) and Ruzell Hammond of Columbus when she was three months of age. Tiffany was temporarily placed in the care of loving foster parents Rick and Diane Haviland during those first three months. They remained an integral part of her life. Tiffany was a graduate of Independence High School in Columbus, Ohio. She attended Kentucky State University, Wright State University, and DeVry University, where she studied Business Management.

Tiffany was the author of an inspirational blog, loved to sing, and most of all just loved to make people smile. She had a loving spirit and an infectious laugh. Tiffany began her spiritual journey at Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church, where she served as a member of the Love Choir, Youth Choir, and the Pastoral Choir. She continued her walk with Christ as a faithful member of Faith Tabernacle Church. Tiffany was the answer to her parents’ prayers. She was loved by all who were blessed to know her.

Tiffany was predeceased by her grandmother, Betty J. Marshall.
