She was the Beloved Wife of Michael J. Bowers of Marlton, NJ and the Loving Mother of Daniel Michelson of Marlton, NJ, Breanna Gamelli and her husband Ryan of Maple Shade, NJ and the late Jamie Michelson. She is also survived by her Grandchildren Stella, Joey and Louie Gamelli all of Maple Shade, NJ, her brothers Marc Santone and his wife Gina (nee Gribaudo) of Shamong, NJ, Dan Santone and his wife Kim (nee Zarnoch) of Johns Island, SC, her Sister-in-law Jill Santone (nee Flenard) of Medford, NJ and her 4 nieces and nephews Gabriel, John, Gemma & Luciano Santone.

Tamara is also survived by her Sister -in Law Karin Kinkaide of Myrtle Beach, SC, Brother -in Law Bill & Colleen Bowers of Lumberton, NJ and Michael’s parents, Lorraine Bowers and the late Clarence Beavers. 

Tamara loved life and her family. She enjoyed sitting on the beach while listening to the Phillies or Eagles on the radio. Tamara was an active member of the Mario Lanza Sons of Italy in Berlin. Additionally, Tamara looked forward to the AC Air Show each year, and her Girl’s Trip with her besties.  However, her true love was her farm and the animals. She would feed them, care for them even if it meant administering medicine or bottle feeding the baby goats. Tamara’s love for her two Yorkies, Chloe K. Diva and Gucci, was unyielding. She was proud that she and Michael worked the Dicken’s Festival every year doing carriage rides as Santa and Mrs. Claus. Tamara just lit up a room with her infectious laugh and smile.  She will be missed tremendously.
