Tamara M. (Talsma) Cutts

Tamara Marie (Talsma) Cutts, age 51, of Wild Rose, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026 at Froedtert Hospital, Milwaukee due to injuries received in a motorcycle accident.

Tamara was born in South Dakota on December 13, 1974, the daughter of Loren and Sandra (Larsen) Brand. She soon moved to Texas where she grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Panhandle/Amarillo areas. As a young adult, Tamara attended flight attendant school and was then based in Chicago for many years, working for American and American Eagle airlines. Eventually she came North to the Appleton/Little Chute/Kimberly area, where she worked in the financial services field and as a 911 operator.

It was during this time that Tamara met the love of her life, Geoff. After eight years of dating had passed in the blink of an eye, the two were joined in marriage on September 13, 2026.

Tamara loved the more rural life that she had with Geoff, having always been more of a "city girl". She found many new hobbies and interests, including gardening, leatherworking, target shooting, and cruising in antique vehicles. She very much enjoyed the wildlife, birds, and especially her kitties.

Tamara is survived by her loving husband Geoff, her dad Loren and stepmom Carol, her mother Sandra, brother Chris, sister Meghan, numerous step siblings, her father-in-law George; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Chris and Beth; nieces, nephews, and many, many friends.

Tamara will always be remembered for her beautiful, bright, positive nature, her kindness and love, and especially her sense of humor. She could always appreciate a corny joke or a cheesy pun! It is with that sense of humor in mind that we, even in our grief, need to remember advice which she herself gave: "Do not cry when your tacos are gone. Rather, be thankful that you got to enjoy tacos in the first place!"

Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2026 from 1:00 until 4:00 P.M. at Leikness Funeral Home in Wautoma. A brief prayer service will conclude the visitation at 4:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established in Tamara's memo
