ROCHESTER - Tammy Ann Rivazfar Lane died on May 14, 2020 after a long illness. She was 56. Tammy was born in 1964 to Stella Delores Stedge and Richard Lane in Rochester, NY. She was raised by Stella and her father Kenneth Raymond Newton, Sr. She was married to Michael Arroyo in 1982, and then to Ahmad Rivazfar, the father of her four children, on December 24, 1987. Tammy enjoyed long phone calls with her loved ones and cooking. She loved being near water, spending summers at Alexandria Bay and nights enjoying breezes off the lake at O’Laughlins.
