Tiffany was born with an amazing gift of kindness and a beautiful smile. She was a beautiful baby! She had the extraordinary gift, even at a young age, of being able to lift people up and brighten up anyone’s day. Tiffany had the personality to make friends easily.
She participated on the cheer squad for Snowflake High School. She was always enthusiastic and ready to play practical jokes on her teammates. They loved her so much and said of her, “She could make your worst day better with her jokes and laughter.”
Tiffany possessed a contagious laugh that was so infectious she could light up any room she entered, and make everyone feel happy and comfortable. Seriously, she could make you laugh until you cried! She was always willing to try new things, and with her zest for life, she made everything she did fun! She radiated happiness and made every moment a memory. Whether it was a silly face, a bright smile, a practical joke or a kind word, she could lift your spirit.
She had many diverse interests, including reflexology and photography. She became a certified reflexologist, and gave the most amazing and relaxing back and foot massages. She was a skilled photographer with an eye to catch stunning photos.
Tiffany loved motivational and inspirational books, and she was always looking for ways to lift and inspire herself and help others to do the same.
A natural born entrepreneur, Tiffany operated several home businesses, including vinyl signs and furniture restoration.
When she was 20, she met and married Steven Carpenter. Steve and Tiffany shared happy times together and loved their Italian Mastiff, Paisley.
Tiffany loved the designation of being “Aunt Tiffany” to Crew, Kosten, Myka, Jeremiah, Brigham, Alison, Cade Sicely, Dakota and Landen. She was a fun loving teaser, roller coaster partner, hair stylist, practical joker and connoisseur of funny videos, and the kids loved her for it.
She was an extraordinary daughter, sister, wife and aunt, and she always made you feel loved and important. Her life of giving, sharing and spreading joy was cut short and she will truly be missed.
