Tara Poole Obituary
She was born April 30, 1985 in Fort Gordon, Ga. She was a graduate of Midway High School and also Roane State Community College. Tara was employed as a legal assistant with Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele LLP in Knoxville, but her world revolved around her children, working with Kingston youth and also as cheerleading coach. She always told her children that she loved them to the moon and back, and this still remains true today.
Survivors include loving husband of six years, Matthew Poole, Kingston; children, Bradyn, Emma and Sophia Poole, Kingston; parents, Butch and Tonja Page, Kingston; brother, Stan Wilkerson, Ten Mile; parents-in-law, Larry and Lauren Poole, Kingston; grandparents, Stan and Linda Sandlin, Bell Buckle, and Melvin and Glenna Page, Kingston; a host of extended special family and dear friends.
The family will host a celebration of life at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, at Roane County Park Shelter No. 6. A fund will be set up locally to help with the education of Tara's and Matthew's children, and those wishing to contribute may check with Fraker Funeral Home, Kingston, for more information once the account has been established. An online register book can be signed at www.FrakerFuneralHome.net.

Tara,
I randomly thought of you today, after all these years, you just randomly popped into my mind. And then I started to remember school, and playing softball with you for Midway and for summer league. I´m pretty sure we were on the same team every single year we played. Those were some of the of the best years of my life. You were fun to be around and so funny with a kind and caring heart... and your laugh cracked me up. I can still hear your goofy laugh... lol. I had no idea you had passed until your funeral was already over, I´m sorry I wasn´t able to come and say goodbye and lay my respects to your family. Im sure what happened to cause your passing, but obviously God needed you more in Heaven. Im sure you are someone´s special beautiful guardian angel.. I´ll see you again someday. My deepest sympathies to Tara´s family for your loss.

I had no idea! Tara was a workstudy for me for over a year. She was a great young woman. I am so sorry for this beautiful family.

Tara, you were one of the most beautiful people I know. I'm so thankful we had the time we did together. Heaven scored big time by gaining you. I miss you so much!
