She enjoyed rock hunting, crocheting, reading, playing cards, and always looked forward to girl's night. She also enjoyed jeopardy. Tarin wrote and published two songs, Little Sister and Bar room Angel. She also had an award winning recipe for quiche pizza. She was known as a domestic Goddess. She was a mommy to two, mom to many, and oma to all. She loved her honey and her grandbabies more than anything. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

Tari was my sister -in-law at one time. We would go to their house when my husband was alive and our children would play together. She will be missed.
