Tammy Lynn McClelland (Anderson)

Tammy Lynn McClelland, age 54, of Tallmadge, Ohio, passed away on May 6, 2025, surrounded by the love and prayers of her family and friends after a courageous battle with ALS. Born on April 21, 1971 in Charleston, WV until moving to Akron, Ohio when she was 2, she was the daughter of Harold and Janet Anderson. Tammy was preceded in death by her Father Harold Anderson. She is survived by her mother Janet (Kenny) Howes, sister Monica (John) Baskey, husband Greg McClelland, daughter Carissa (Cole) Bever, son Anderson (Riley) McClelland, grandchildren Peyton Bever and Hudson McClelland and many nephews, nieces and extended family. 

Tammy was a faithful and active member of the New Apostolic Church. She was a Sunday school teacher, youth leader, choir member and helped along with whatever she could do to help out. She loved Jesus and was faithful though her whole life. 

Tammy worked at McDonalds in Brimfield, Carter Jones Lumber, ITW Micropoise, Homecheckout, and receptionist at Dr Glanville, Hussing and Fath Family Eyecare. She was well loved at each place she worked. She was dedicated to service with everything that she did.

 Tammy graduated from Ellet High School in 1989 and was a part of the clerk stenography program. 

Services and visitation will take place at The Event on Sunnybrook 3734 Sunnybrook Road Kent, Ohio 44240 June 1st. Visitation with the family will begin at 3:00 with the funeral beginning at 5:00 with fellowship after the service. 

In lieu of flowers donations to the ALS Association Northern Ohio Chapter and BodyScience 5975 Sunset Drive Suite 100 South Miami, FL 33143 (ALS Functional Clinic) would be appreciated. The ALS Association was critical for providing assistance for all of the alterations to the home and equipment that helped Tammy navigate ALS for the past five years. BodyScience is a functional health clinic that is focused on helping those with ALS overcome symptoms and overcome the disease. Tammy spent 5 weeks at the clinic and we feel was important on her stabilization over the last year and a half. We were so thankful to find Amy Jaramillo and her approach to ALS. She works very hard and is helping a lot of people reverse this disease. 

Tammy’s life was a beautiful example of quiet strength, joyful giving, and unwavering faith. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched—and especially in the hearts of those who called her wife, mom, Grammy, daughter, sister and friend.
