Tara enjoyed family outings, Zumba classes, cuddling on the couch watching movies with her boys, and spending time with her friends. She loved to hike, camp and ride four-wheelers. Sleek cars would definitely catch her eye. She had a beautiful voice and knew the lyrics to almost every song on the radio. She loved all music, but country was her favorite. She was a girly girl and thought make up was a must! Tara was employed at Adesa of Colorado Springs as a Financial Administrator. Tara was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece and friend. She was always so full of life and always seemed to know the right thing to say. She will be remembered as a caring friend with a beautiful smile, great laugh, twinkling eyes and a vibrant personality.
