Tammi Lee Fuller Critchley

1957-2016. 
Tammi Lee "Fuller" Critchley.

Tammi's spirit was set free on August 2, 2016, after a 13 year battle with melanoma. Born on December 30, 1957, to Raymond and Elizabeth Fuller, Tammi grew up and spent her entire life in Napa, going to Brown's Valley and Westwood elementary schools, Ridgeview Jr High, and graduating from Napa High in 1976.

Tammi met future husband Tom in 1978. After dating for three years, Tammi and Tom were married on May 30, 1981, celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary this year. Tammi's son David was born on July 14, 1985, and daughter Sarah was born on October 8, 1987. A son and daughter were exactly what Tammi wanted to be a happy and doting mother. Grandson Tyler was born on September 14, 2006. Tyler was Tammi's  joy and love. She grandmothered and spoiled him till the end.

In 1981 after answering a help wanted ad, Tammi met Don and Marte Muelrath, and became their personal assistant. She has enjoyed working the last 35 years helping them do whatever needed to be done, including helping raise hundreds of turtles and trout in the ponds in their backyard. Tammi was also Don's secretary for his fly fishing business. Tammi spent her leisure time with family and friends, and a very special group of girlfriends from high school who called themselves the"Bad-Asses", going on day trips and many SF Giant's games.

Tammi is survived by her mother Elizabeth Hewlett, sister and brother-in-law Tracey and Veldon Sage, brother Scott Fuller, loving husband Tom, son David, daughter Sarah, and grandson Tyler.

Special thanks to Dr. David Minor and Dr. Kevin Kim of SF Oncology Associates, and to Collabria Care Hospice of Napa. The family asks that those wishing to make donations should direct them to CPMC Foundation for Melanoma Research. A celebration of Tammi's life will be held on September 17th. Those wishing to attend may contact Tom for location and times.
