Tambaria Napitupulu

Tambaria was born on July 8th, 1971, to Sinta Orlan Sianipar and Ir. Tagor Sianipar in Medan, Indonesia. After graduating with her degree in finance from Purdue University, Tambaria went on to get her MBA at University of Houston while pregnant with her first-born son, Ryan Napitupulu.

After Ryan, Tambaria gave birth to two more children, Abigail and Nikko Napitupulu. Being a single mother of 3 children, she dedicated her life to raising her kids well. She would get up at 5 am in the morning to go to work and would not be home until 6 or 7 pm only to take care of her kids and do it again the next day. As a mother, she prioritized her children’s education above all else and promised all of her kids a college fund so they can go to school.

During her life she loved spending time with the family dog, Momo. Most mornings she spent time outside with Momo and playing with her. More than anything else though, Tambaria loved God and sought to honor Him when she could. Other than being a church goer, she was pastor's assistant for many years and dreamed about going back to Indonesia to preach the gospel and help single mothers get back on their feet.

Tambaria was predeceased by her parents, Sinta and Ir. She is survived by her children, Ryan, Abigail, and Nikko, and her siblings, Lambok Revel Sianipar, Ferryanto Sianipar, and Lasmaida Grace Sianipar.
