TC proudly served her country by enlisting in the United States Army and during her service was stationed in Germany. After her period of faithful service, she was honorably discharged.
TC's love for her country led her to continue her service for veterans by working for the V.A. Medical Center in Marion for many years. She was of the Christian faith and in her spare time she enjoyed quilting, drawing, and doing anything craft-related. She was so excited about her craft shed she recently set up. She also enjoyed singing karaoke and riding on the side-by-side with her husband, Marty. TC was proud of her Italian heritage and loved cooking. She especially loved her chihuahuas, Priscilla and Nikki Jo.
Survivors include her husband, Marty Counts of West Frankfort, IL; her children, Crystal Ferrari, Jon Price, Tiffany Martin, Miranda Nielsen, Adam Yates and Alex Yates; grandchildren, William, Maurice, Hunter, Laylana, Talon, Rae, Caleb, Vincent, Hadlie and Rylee; and numerous extended family members and friends.
