In Memory

Tamara Lockett (Cottone)

Tammie Lockett

June 25, 1951-September 1, 2021

EAST MOLINE-Tammie Lockett, 70, of East Moline, IL passed away unexpectedly on September 1, 2021, after a short illness.

Tammie was born to Eugene and Grace Lockett on June 25, 1951. She enjoyed undivided attention from her parents until her beloved brother, Gary, came along a few years later. They were the best of friends and loved each other deeply until his passing in 2012.

She graduated from UTHS in 1969 and from Saint Francis School of Nursing (Peoria, IL) in 1972. Her hands of healing and spirit of compassion brought comfort to countless people.

She had been married to Stephen Lingner, the father of Heather, Seth and Kristin. And later to Michael Cottone.

Her three monkeys caused her to go prematurely grey, and created more laugh lines than botox would have been able to remove. Heather Lingner (Eric Yu) of Wilmette, IL; Seth Lingner of Shullsburg, WI; and Kristin Lingner of Silvis, IL were her greatest joy. Granddaughters Temperance Ferry and Harper Yu were adored to no end and lavished with love.

Tammie enjoyed her nursing career, volunteering, serving at her church - Wildwood Church where she was a member - and spending time with friends and family. Because she was loved by so many, an intimate celebration of life will be held by her family and closest friends on Sunday, October 3, 2021 at Wildwood Church (18717 Hubbard Road, East Moline, IL) from 1:30-3:30pm for those who knew her best. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her honor to Youth Hope (www.youthhopeqc.org) or World Relief Quad Cities (www.worldrelief.org/quad-cities).

I'd like to send my condolences to the family of Tamara along with the Bible's promise of a resurrection for our dead loved ones. Acts 24:15, John 5:28, 29.

Death indeed is an enemy, yet soon our Heavenly Father Jehovah God will remember our loved ones asleep in death and bring them back to life in an earthly paradise. All the heartache and pain experienced by mankind will be a thing of the past.
Rev 21:3, 4.

May this hope bring you the comfort that you need at this time!

Sincerely,

Kenneth Glenn
1969 UTHS Classmate

Tammie Sue Lockett- that is the name I knew you from the longest. I loved being a little girl and having you for a next door neighbor. I loved your mom, Grace; your dad, Gene, and your brother Gary. I am so sad you have left this world, but your faith in a Heaven with eternal life was one of your strongest convictions. I will see you on the other side, my friend,
