Tara mostly worked in the administration department in the healthcare field and was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church of DeSoto, Missouri. When she wasn't spending time with family and friends she greatly enjoyed landscaping, traveling, animals, collecting candles and lotions from one of her favorite stores, Bath and Body. She loved her black lab, Max, Heidi the Pitbull/lab, and Fritz the cat - they were in a constant battle!
