On February 14, 2024, Tamara Lyn Booth Arnett went home to be with our Savior Jesus Christ. Tamara was born May 18, 1960 in Midland, Texas to Evelyn Katovich Booth Breen and Robert Cloud Booth Sr. who have both preceded her in death.
She attended St. Anns, Bowie elementary Grade Schools and Midland High School, which she graduated from in 1978.
At age 5 she was cast into the role of Gretl Vonn Trapp in "The Sound of Music" at the Midland Community Theater and stole the show! She loved to sing and sang at many weddings including her family weddings, social gatherings and anywhere that had a stage and audience, with or without a microphone, and was always loved and applauded.
She attended Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas where she met the love of her life Paul Arnett and where their adventures together began.
Tamara and Paul went to Las Vegas Nev. and got married in Jan. 2005. They remained in Las Vegas until July 1990 with both working at the Las Vegas newspaper.
Their first child, Rowdy Shane Arnett was born there in 1987. He was only with Tamara and Paul for one month before dying of sudden infant death syndrome. This was an everlasting devastating time for Tamara and Paul. They left Las Vegas in 1990 and moved to Hawaii where Paul got a job with the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Their two daughters, Chloe Rhiannon and Phoebe Rea, were born in Las Vegas, but grew up on the island of Oahu in the small community of Kaaawa, HI. Tamara eventually got a job at Kualoa Ranch where Tamara worked for 25 years taking care of the ranch animals and doing educational tours. She loved the ranch and the volunteers, employees, visitors and owners of the land as well as keeping them all entertained with her wit and charm. She was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to all!
Tamara worshipped as a member of the Catholic Church, where she enjoyed singing, solace and praising God.
Tamara is survived by her beloved husband Paul Arnett, 2 daughters Chloe Rhiannon Arnett and Phoebe Rea A'alona and son-in-law Kama A'alona and granddaughter Marley A'alona.
