Obituary of Tiffany Muma

Tiffany Rae Muma was born in Monroe, Michigan on June 11, 1980. She was the youngest of three daughters born from the union of Stephen Muma and Sharon (Hamilton) Muma. Tiffany received her diploma from Monroe High School in 2001. She went on to attend Oakland University where she earned Associate's Degrees in Photography and Interior Design. Tiffany was a remarkable woman. She showed perseverance throughout her life even when suffering from poor health for more than fifteen years. She was an active member of the Lupus Foundation and very proud of her Native American Heritage being a member of the Ottawa Tribe. She valued her Christian faith and received her spiritual nourishment through attendance at the Monroe Church of Christ. Tiffany had a positive outlook on life, and she made the most of each day. She was a great friend and counselor to those around her. Her thoughtfulness for others led her to drop whatever she was doing, no matter the time of day. Tiffany had a passion for photography, and she loved to capture special maternity, infant, and children. She also kept daily journals, often spending much of her time reflecting upon her wishes, dreams, and thoughts.
