Tammy Sue Woodberry, 58, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, January 1, 2026 after a prolonged illness. She had a peaceful transition, surrounded by her family members. She had many titles, however - loving wife and mother, sister, aunt - and most importantly - “Mimi”.

Tammy was born May 29, 1967 to Ralph and Sandra Clapper. She was the youngest of 6 children.

She grew up in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin (with a small amount of time in Park City, Utah) until she moved to Florence, South Carolina about 25 years ago. Tammy worked in the banking industry for several years before becoming a real estate agent. As a real estate agent, she developed a name for her dedication to her clients as well as her professionalism.

In 2008, Tammy met the love of her life, William Woodberry, and they were married in 2010, successfully blending two beautiful families into a single community.

Feeling the move of the Holy Spirit in 2020, Tammy and William made a move to northwest Montana. She was guided there by the search for truth in Scripture under the teaching of Pastor Chuck Baldwin. Her faith in Jesus Christ was very evident in all she did, and her steadfast faith and commitment to her ideals, without compromise, was present at all times. She loved her Liberty Fellowship family in Christ just as her own biological family.

She and William lived in Montana for the duration of her time of her years. While in Montana, she spent her days exploring a more simple homesteading life. She loved her Westies (Barclay, Bella, and Bailey). She grew her own crops, raised her own chickens, and absolutely loved her homesteading life.

Of all Tammy’s titles and names, she was most proud of her time as “Mimi” to her grandchildren. She lived her faith to be an example to the next generation of her grandchildren, living in the world but not part of the world. She accepted her “blended” grandchildren just as her own.

Tammy is predeceased by her parents, Ralph and Sandra Clapper. She is survived by her husband, William Woodberry, of Kila, MT. She is the beloved mother of Michelle (Daniel) Hemmingen of Florence, SC; Monique (Eric) Davis of Florence, SC; Nicole Olson of Manning, SC; Vladimir Balakhnin (Taylor) of Columbia, SC.

Siblings: Scott Clapper of Kila, MT; Todd (Mariah) Clapper, Craig (Lisa) Clapper, Jamie Clapper, all of the Milwaukee, WI area; sister, Jennifer del Castillo of Arizona.

Stepchildren: Brice Woodberry of Easley, SC; Brittany (Jordan) Hawkins and Sydney (Cory) Dantzler, both of Orangeburg, SC; Jordan (Sierra) Woodberry of Florence, SC.

As noted, she is the AWESOME “Mimi” to 10 grandchildren.

There will be visitation at Richardson Funeral Home, Marion, SC on Wednesday Jan 7, 2026 from 6-8 PM. Graveside services will be held on Thursday Jan 8, 2026 at 1 PM in Florence Memorial Gardens (Garden of Faith), Florence, SC.
