Tamara was born on February 20, 1930 in the Ukraine. She learned the art of beauty culture in Germany and brought her skill to the United States, where she owned her own beauty salon in Philadelphia, PA.
While living in Philadelphia, she met her husband of 65 years, Russell Tolstow, Sr.
She loved good food, socializing with family and friends, and had a smile that could light up a room.
