Tamiason "Tamo" Munchmeyer Mott

“Wild thing, you make my heart sing.”

Tamiason “Tamo” Munchmeyer Mott, 68, of Lancaster, danced on to her next song on November 6, 2026. Born December 18, 1957 in Lancaster, Ohio. Tami was the youngest of five daughters born to David Lee and Mary Frances (McFarland) Munchmeyer, rounding out a fiercely loyal, wonderfully wild sisterhood.

A 1976 graduate of Lancaster High School. Tami was never one to hold back her opinion and stood by the people she loved through thick and thin. Her door was always open to friends and family, and she always made the time for those who needed her.

Tami and her husband of 49 years, Stephen “Motty” Mott, planned their family the traditional way, raising one Gen Xer, their son, Bryan “Bry Boy” and one millennial, their daughter, Joey “Jolie”. Along the way came a long line of beloved boxers, all of whom Tami considered her babies.

She loved nature and being outdoors, especially when she could cast a line. Cooking was another favorite pastime, thanks in part to her rather sophisticated subscription to Bon Appetit magazine, whose pages were filled with handwritten notes, recipe tweaks and the occasional verdict after a taste test.

Keeping her memory and a few good stories alive are Motty; Bryan and his wife, Jenny; Joey and her partner, Josh; her sisters, Maribeth (Bill) Wolfe, Carolyn (Randy) Green and Rhonda Burtner; her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Elizabeth and Luis Anda; and her two fur-grandbabies, Carmen and Leon.

She also leaves behind a small army of nieces and nephews, countless friends, and her West Virginia family, including her uncle, Jim Munchmeyer and his wife, Kay and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents, David Lee and Mary Frances Munchmeyer; and her sister, Beverly Perry.

Per Tami’s wishes, there will be no services. Instead, honor her memory by being kind to someone today, treating yourself to a favorite meal, turning up a favorite song, and living life just a little more wildly.

And finally, as a devoted game show fan, Tami would want to remind everyone to Have your pets spayed and neutered!
