Tara loved the Lord Jesus and her family. She also loved to laugh. She was the lead puppeteer in her church’s puppet ministry, involved in children’s church, and sang in the choir. Tara enjoyed gardening—especially planting—along with painting and art, which she was very creative and skilled in. She liked to read, collect gnomes, see the mountains, play in the snow, and listen to all kinds of music. She was a movie buff who especially enjoyed classic and original films, and she was a devoted fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars. Tara also had a special love for Chick-fil-A and Blue Slurpees from 7-Eleven.
This obituary was completed by Harriet Sullivan and David Steele.
