Tara Lynn Butler, a life long New Orleanian, was taken into the arms of her Lord Wednesday, February 14, 2018 at the age of 48. The daughter of Janet Hills Butler and the late Johnny Robertson Butler, Jr., she is survived by her sons, Lester McCalebb, Jr., Taray Butler (Marquise Lewis), Cory Batiste, Jr., Kylan Batiste, and Milton Collins; grandchild, Taray Jr.; sisters, Tamika Butler Wilson and Lenora Tracy Washington (Lionel); nieces, Ashanti Duckworth and Lynell Washington; and nephews, Kenneth Ray Jefferson, Jr., Kendal Rayshad Jefferson, Kobe Nathan Wilson, and Anthony Duckworth.

Tara was such a beautiful woman that was devoted to everything she did. She was a plan maker and a go getter, always achieving the goals she set her mind to. One thing that everybody can say is that Tara always had a plan, a vision and most importantly her devotion to making sure her children and herself were always taken care of.
