The family of a woman killed in Saskatoon is remembering her as an amazing woman who had a positive influence on others.
Tammy Brown, 39, was found dead at a house on Kootenay Drive on Tuesday morning.
Saskatoon police have not said how she died. It is the city’s first homicide of 2019.
Her common-law partner, 37-year-old Blake Schreiner, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Brown’s family said they had been together for five years and had two children – a three-year-old and a nine-month-old baby.
Tawny Brown said their family is devastated by the death of her sister.
“She was an amazing mother, daughter and sister,” Tawny said in a statement.
“We continue to receive messages from friends and loved ones of Tammy and are reminded how her kind, loving nature has positively influenced the lives of so many!
“Her family would like to thank everyone for their love and support during this incredibly difficult time.”
An education fund has been started for her children.
Schreiner made his second court appearance on Friday and will remain in custody until his next appearance on Feb. 15.
