Tammy Kay (Moore) Slaton was born in Reno, NV, to Lonnie and Janice Moore on March 5, 1961, as the first of three children. She spent her early years in Virginia City, where she enjoyed selling rocks to gullible tourists. At 7 years old, her family moved to Fallon, where she had lots of adventures with her siblings Darin and Lani. Tammy devoted her life to the Lord at a young age and enjoyed her relationship with Jesus as He sourced every aspect of her life. She graduated from Churchill County High School in 1979 and a few months later married the love of her life, Paul Slaton. They welcomed their daughters, Rachel and Carmen, in 1981 and 1984. Tammy was a homemaker who spent her time caring for their daughters. She spent thirty years as a pastor’s wife, pouring into the communities of Reno, NV; Los Alamos, NM; and Sacramento, CA, ending the last twenty-five years of ministry in Fallon, NV. Her passions were worship, teaching, gardening in her yard, and spending time with her family, including her brothers and sisters in Christ. In her lifetime, she was a dedicated wife, mother, grammy, sister, daughter, and follower of Jesus. Tammy was truly a friend to all.
On April 24, 2026, at the age of 65, Tammy went home to be with Jesus surrounded by loved ones after losing her battle to cancer. She is preceded in death by her father, Lonnie Moore. She is survived by her husband of forty-six years Paul Slaton, mother Janice Moore, brother Darin Moore, sister Lani Moore, children Rachel (Nathan) Crary, and Carmen (Mike) Stafford. She is survived by seven grandchildren (Aria, Ayalyn, Asa, Asher, Mikey, DJ, and Micara). Tammy was loved and will be missed by those she has left behind.
Tammy’s memorial service will be held Sunday, May 3, at 2 pm at the Fallon Church of the Nazarene, located at 1520 Grimes Street, Fallon, NV, with a potluck fellowship to follow the service.
