OBITUARY:
Mrs. Tammy Joy Henriques Carrick, 55, of Fort Mill, SC, passed away May 13, 2026, at the Wayne T. Hospice House, Rock Hill, SC, with her family by her side.
She was born October 22, 1970, to Robert and Ann Watson Henriques in the Panama Canel Zone.
Tammy was in every sense, a joyful warrior. She faced life with courage, grace and a heart anchored in faith. Even in her sickest moments, she found a way to encourage others, offering words of hope, comfort and strength when many would had none left to give. Her life was a living testimony of what it means to follow Christ: to love deeply, serve faithfully, endure bravely and shine light into the lives of others.
She loved her family fiercely. Tammy's devotion to those closest to her was unwavering, and her love was felt in both the big moments and the quiet, everyday acts of care. She was a fighter to the very end, meeting every challenge with strength, dignity and a spirit that refused to be defined by illness.
Tammy also found joy and beauty in creativity. Through art, encouragement and the way she saw Tammy's legacy is one of faith, courage, love and encouragement. She lived as a disciple of Christ Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that her battle of cancer is over, her pain is gone and she is now at peace in the presence of her Savior.
She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered and forever cherished.
Survivors are her husband of 34 years, Sean Christopher Carrick, her daughter, her son, her parents, her two sisters and one brother.
