Tammy Sutton

Tammy Rose Sutton is a fictional gardener featured on the AMC survival horror series The Walking Dead. Played by actress Brett Butler, she first appeared in the premiere episode of season nine titled "A New Beginning".

Biography
Tammy Sutton was a middle-aged woman and a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. She was the wife of Earl Sutton and lived at the Hilltop Colony, where she worked as a gardener. She had a teenage son named Kenny Sutton. Kenny tragically died during an excursion to Washington, D.C., and his death greatly traumatized Earl and Tammy.

When the Whisperers came to the Hilltop Colony to demand the release of Alpha's daughter, Lydia, they were forced to leave an infant child behind. A woman named Connie managed to save the baby, and the Suttons decided to adopt it, naming it Adam.

The Whisperers later kidnapped a group of Hilltoppers including Tammy, and held them in captive in a horse stable. The captives tried to fight back, and Alpha beheaded Tammy. She placed her zombified head atop a pike, along with the heads of other casualties, which marked the border of their territory. After being discovered by Darryl Dixon and several others, all of the zombie heads of their loved ones were mercifully put down.
