Tara Hintz Obituary
Asheville - Tara Marie Hintz, 34, went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after a 13 year battle with leukemia on May 26, 2016.
Tara was preceded in death by her father, Rick Caldwell.
She is survived by her husband, Jonathan Hintz; mother, Jeanne Caldwell Gentry; brothers, Andrew (Aeri) and J.R. Caldwell (Heather); stepdad, Keith Gentry; Memaw Grace, and her cat, Ditter.
Tara was a sweet, wonderful, inspirational spirit who was loved by everyone. What she loved most was becoming a nanny to Lena and Declan, whom she loved as her own.
Visitation and funeral will be at Groce Funeral Home on Patton Avenue on Monday, May 30, with visitation beginning at 2:00 p.m. and a funeral service at 3:30 p.m. Burial will follow at Green Hills Cemetery.
Because of Tara's love of children, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Victory Junction Kids, a camp for kids with serious illnesses at www.victoryjunction.org.
The family would like to thank the CCU nurses and staff at St. Joseph Campus for the exceptional care Tara received during the last day of her life.

Jon, I've never seen such a love story as the one you and Tara shared together. As you said to me, "Tara was the love of your life." That was evident. I know Tara was loved by so many, especially me.
