Friend and coworker reflect on life of young mother who lost her life in south Alabama crash

GENEVA COUNTY, Ala. ( WDHN ) —Sitting on the front desk of Elijah & Vaughn, DMD, PC Family Dentistry in Dothan is a memorial for 26-year-old Tiffany Cobb.

“She was just one of those personalities that never met a stranger and that of course made us feel good and our patients feel good,” Hygienist and office manager at Elijah & Vaughn, DMD, PC, Angie Elijah said.

Tiffany, her husband, and three children were on Alabama 167 near Geneva County Road 9 late Saturday night when officials say their pick-up truck collided head-on with another pick-up truck.

Tiffany was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Her life was definitely taken way too soon, but for those who believe in the Lord, I believe the Lord did what he could with her on this earth and felt that it was time to have her with him,” Longtime friend of Tiffany, Jette Stewart said.

Tiffany’s husband and two of her three children were injured in the crash.

Tiffany’s husband was taken to Dothan hospital in critical condition, while the two children were life-flighted to a Florida hospital in critical condition.

On Tuesday, the oldest child, Rylan passed away at the age of six.

“It’s just devastation, absolute devastation and we are all very sad and are praying that the family can find some kind of comfort in this tragedy,” Elijah said.

Tiffany went to Northview High School, where she played volleyball for several years.

Each year she would come into contact with new teammates and Stewart says Tiffany impacted each one.

“With her positivity, I think that she just wanted everyone around her to have fun,” Stewart said. “She was just very contagious, I think that’s the biggest thing I want to say and that’s hard to find in someone that can spread so much love and positivity to everyone.”

In the workplace, whether it was celebrating her birthday last week or goofing off with coworkers. Elijah says Tiffany left her mark on every person who walked into their office.

“From the very first day, we all just fell in love with her,” Elijah said. “She was fantastic at her job, always came in a smile, and always came in happy and eager to learn.”
