In Loving Memory of Tara Johannson
On October 26, our family lost our beloved Tara suddenly and unexpectedly. Our hearts are broken, and we’re leaning on our faith and on each other.
Tara was a devoted wife to Doug and a loving mom to Lexie and Jordan. She was a proud dance mom and baseball mom who never missed a moment. She was also a daughter, a sister, an auntie, and a friend to everyone who knew her. From her days as a high school cheerleader to her time as a proud ASU Sun Devil, and all the years since, she gathered people around her and made each one feel welcome.
She showed up for anyone who needed her. She opened her heart and celebrated the people she loved, and she lived for her family with her whole being. Tara brought joy everywhere she went.
How you can help:
Tara’s passing has brought sudden and unexpected changes for her family. She was a central part of the family’s support, and the plans they were counting on for the months ahead have changed overnight.
Gifts to this fund will help with:
- Funeral and memorial expenses
- The kids’ ongoing needs
- Day-to-day costs while the family adjusts
- Keeping the family stable while they grieve and heal
Every gift, no matter the size, helps carry this family through. If you can’t give, please share this page and keep Doug and the kids and her mother in your prayers. Your prayers are just as needed.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Thank you for loving Tara and for loving her family now. We will share service details as soon as they’re available.
In Faith,
Rachelle, Tara’s niece on behalf of the Johannson family
