TARA MORAN Obituary

MORAN--Tara M., died on January 4, 2026, at the age of 71, surrounded by her family. She was an organ donor and, at the time of her death, helped save three lives. Tara was born on September 8, 1954, in Rockaway Beach, Queens, the eldest of four children of Peter and Betty Moran. The Morans settled in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. Tara loved living by the sea; it was central to her life, though New York City, particularly the West Village, remained her spiritual home. Ms. Moran built a 40 year career in the fashion industry, highlighted by nearly a decade serving as Director of USA Operations for Fiorucci during the company's cultural peak. A champion of health and fitness, Tara remained committed to mind body practices throughout her life. Known for her warmth, generosity, and humor, she was a mentor to many and deeply valued her relationships. She is survived by her children, Haley Wollens and Beau Wollens, who were her pride and joy; her former husband, Jamie Wollens; her siblings; her grandson, Shel; and numerous relatives and friends.

Coleen, My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your dear sister, Tara. I remember last seeing and talking with you both some twenty + years ago at St. Clement Church Carnival in Stamford. You both looked just as young and beautiful as when we were in grammar school at St. Catherine of Siena.

Sincerely,

Eileen Phelan

I am shocked and very sad to hear the news of Tara's passing. We met at Fiouricci and remained friends and though we didn't see each other often - many times only by chance and then we would plan to meet again. I will miss her. Her loving warmth. I am sorry I'm not in New York to attend tomorrow. My deepest sympathy and love. Barbara

Mrs. Moran and Coleen, I read this with a profound sense of shock having met up with Tara last fall at the No Kings rally on Greenwich Avenue. She, as always, was full of life with that bright smile of hers. I hope for both of you and her extended family a smooth transition from grief to remembrance to love.
