Tarah was taken from us before she had a chance to blossom into her true potential. She will always be remembered for her infamous smile, incredible eyes, and fun loving personality. Tarah graduated from Comanche High School in 2013 where she was known for her bold personality and leadership. Tarah was loved by all that were fortunate enough to have known her. Through her stubborn and determined ways, she always got what she wanted! Her love for life and perseverance led her to be a beautiful young woman with a bright future. Tarah loved to go on long walks along the lake during the summer and to draw beautiful pictures on paper as well as on nails. She had a passion for music and would often burst into dance, lighting up the room with her spontaneity and incredible smile. She perfected the art of talking on the phone and texting.

When you remember Tarah, please remember her for her love of life and her love for those around her. Celebrate her in your memories and live as she did…..to the fullest!
