Tamara Sue Strudthoff

Tamara "Tammy" Sue Strudthoff, 59, of Victor, Iowa, passed away at the University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics on Friday, July 9, 2021. She was born April 6, 1962, in Cedar Falls, daughter of Eugene & Dorothy (Wegner) Bright. Tammy graduated from NU High School with the Class of 1980. On September 18, 1982, she was married to Stanley "Jon" Strudthoff at St. John Lutheran Church of Cedar Falls. The couple lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin, before settling in Victor. Tammy worked a variety of positions including office work, retail, catering, golf course manager and convenience store clerk. Her infectious personality was the secret to her success in work and personal life. Tammy and Jon had only one biological son, Tanner, but their home and arms were always open to anyone who needed them. Her life was not always easy, but she had found peace, healing and reconciliation in the past few years through her time at the Abbey Addiction & Treatment Center of Davenport.

Tammy was preceded in death by her grandparents; and her father, Gene. She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Jon; her son, Tanner (Hailey Bermel) Strudthoff of Cedar Falls; her mother, Dorothy, of Cedar Falls; her brother, David (Julie) Bright of New Hartford; her sisters: Marcia (Dave) Rinderknecht of Cedar Rapids, Bonnie Bright of Victor and Alison (James) Rooff of Cedar Falls; many beloved nieces and nephews; and many loving friends and extended family members.
