Tiffany was predeceased by her mother, Mary, her paternal grandfather, Joseph Bodinizzo,; her maternal grandmother, Irene Edwards; and her partner’s father and maternal grandfather, James Plausse Sr. and Kenneth Yannone Sr.

Tiffany was a compassionate soul with a huge heart, bright smile, infectious laugh, and warm disposition. She loved bringing people together with her homecooked food, elaborate, festive celebrations, and good music. Tiffany loved spending time with friends and family, especially her partner, Jennifer, camping at Ellis Haven in Plymouth, travelling annually to Key West, Florida, enjoying the sunshine on the beaches of the South Shore, singing and dancing nights away at country music shows, and watching Alabama football as its biggest fan. Among her many talents, Tiffany enjoyed crafting, often designing and making custom gifts for birthdays, holidays, and celebrations.  She will be dearly missed.
