Tara passed away after a courageous four-year battle with cancer. She excelled in her various roles within the Government of Canada, culminating as an executive with Public Safety. She often chose the most difficult files because she knew she could make a difference. Tara was an avid exercise enthusiast who loved to ski with her daughter and her husband. Tara was able to travel as recently as two months ago, spending two weeks in France with Larry and Sophie. Most importantly, Tara was a terrific mother to Sophie, who she loved more than anything in the world.
Family, friends and those that cared for Tara are invited to a funeral service to be held on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 1PM in The Sacred Space of Beechwood National Memorial Centre (280 Beechwood Ave.). Burial to follow. A private reception for close family and friends will follow the interment. Donations in her Memory to Cystic Fibrosis Canada greatly appreciated.
Arrangements entrusted to the Whelan Funeral Home.
I had the unique opportunity of meeting Tara, my birth sister, approximately 25 years ago. Over the years Tara impressed me with her warmth, her kindness, her energy, her intensity and her devotion to both Sophie and Larry. I will miss her presence and our many conversations. Much love to my beautiful niece Sophie and my caring brother-in-law Larry.
