Tamalisa Al Sultan

Tamalisa (Krzyzak) Al-Sultan passed away Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024. Tammy was a beloved mother, wife, daughter and sister who will be deeply missed.

Tammy was born Dec. 22, 1961, in Tiffin, where she spent her formative years. She graduated from Columbian High School in 1979 and attended The Ohio State University where she received a bachelor's in business. She later attended Ohio Northern University and became a Registered Pharmacist. Throughout her career, she was known for her hard work, dedication, and passion for helping others.

But more than anything, Tammy was a devoted mother and follower of Christ. She took great pride in her daughter, Iasha, and spent many hours studying the Bible. In her free time, Tammy loved working around the house, crocheting, spending time in her yard, and, most of all, caring for her indoor and outdoor cats. Tammy had a special love for feral cats, and over the years, she cared for more than 100 strays. Her love for animals was like no other.

Tammy is survived by her husband, Ibrahim of Findlay; daughter, Iasha of Columbus; brother, Bill (Barb) Krzyzak of Tiffin; sister, Tish (Mark) Donalson of Plain City; and many loving nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Patsie Krzyzak; and sister, Aleisha Brickner.

A graveside service will be Monday, Dec. 23, 2024, at St. Mary's Cemetery for family and close friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to HOPE Spay and Neuter Clinic in Upper Sandusky.

My heart goes out to you both as you navigate this devastating loss. Losing a sibling is never easy, especially when it comes so unexpectedly. I can only imagine the mix of emotions you must be feeling right now. Siblings share such a unique, sometimes complicated bond, but I know you must have countless memories of both joy and challenges throughout your lives.
I have fond memories of Tammy growing up, some that were funny and yes, even a bit scary! I´ll never forget when you both would ride your horses down Central Avenue from the fairgrounds-it was such a sight! And that time when we played tennis doubles in the street with our moms-what a hilarious memory! They were so completely awful at it, but it was so much fun.
What I´ll always remember most about Tammy is how much she helped me when I was preparing to go away to college. I was so nervous and unsure of what to expect, and Tammy spent hours talking with me, easing my fears, and guiding me through everything-from the essentials for living in the dorms to study tips, organization strategies, and even how to navigate relationships with professors.
I´m sure she had that same kind of impact on many people throughout her life-always guiding and caring for others.
Please know that my thoughts are with you during this incredibly difficult time. Tammy will always be remembered with love and warmth, and her memory will live on in all the lives she touched.

With prayers and heartfelt sympathy,

We are SO SORRY for your loss...Our loss as well. Such a shock.
Tammy will be Dearly missed!! Mom (Dee) and I are so thankful we were able to reconnect with Tammy at your mom´s (pat´s) house a few years ago and then continue our conversations over lunches when I was in town. What a wonderful, sweet, funny and awesome friend! I cannot tell you how much joy it brought us to get together with her and reconnect from the earlier years! We looked forward to every date we made. And enjoyed conversations on the phone as well.
She was such a sweet, sweet person!
We love you all and pray that the Lord Jesus will turn your sorrow and pain into sweet peace that only He can give. We keep her alive through remembering the wonderful person she was! She was deeply loved!

Prayers,

Michelle and Dee Longanbach
