Tara Kathleen Heiser

Tara Kathleen Heiser, 62, passed away on April 14, 2025 at her home in Burton, Texas, after a courageous battle against breast cancer.

She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Jim Heiser; her son, A.J. Heiser; her mother, Juanita Green; and her sister, Tenli Green.

Tara was born in Long Beach, California on August 16, 1962 and grew up in Houston, Texas. She received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree from the University of Houston.

She was a devoted wife and mother and truly loved her family. Her acute eye for fashion would turn heads when she walked into a room, and her taste for turquoise jewelry was ever visible on her arms and around her neck. She loved her frequent travels to Santa Fe, New Mexico where she enjoyed collecting antiques, hiking, and sipping on a glass of Pinot Grigio in the desert mountains.

Tara's favorite pastimes were selling antiques during the Round Top Antique Festival and enjoying the birds and wildlife on her property in Burton.

A Funeral Mass for Tara will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 10:00 am at St. Margaret Catholic Church in Giddings, Texas. Burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery in Burton, Texas.
