Tara M. Halvorson 52, of Badger, MN died on Sunday, October 6, 2024 in Grand Forks, ND after a short battle with cancer. Tara Marie Schwickerath was born on July 10, 1972 to Gerald "Jerry" and Janet (Kuykendall) Schwickerath in New Hampton, Iowa.
Tara missed the last week of 4th grade when her family moved from Iowa to Hector, MN. Tara fondly recalled the story of shopping with her grandma Schwickerath at Liddle's Grocery store in New Hampton. When the cashier was told about Tara missing the last week of school, her response was "They must be smarter up there". Tara's family later moved to Eden Valley, MN. Tara graduated from Paynesville High School in 1990. She married Michael Halvorson on May 5, 2005 at 5:00 pm in Badger. Tara and Michael's family was complete with the birth of their son Kaden on June 21, 2006.
Tara loved to go to concerts and to travel. Her favorite place to go was "NOLA" (New Orleans, Louisiana). Tara worked in law enforcement offices, including the city of St. Cloud, MN, Wright County and Roseau County. Tara was a civil process clerk at the Roseau County Sheriff's Office.
