passed away early March 8, 2006, with her children at her side.

resided at her death. 

An athletic and vivacious spirit, Tari's early interests included scuba diving, 
swimming, drawing, writing poetry, camping and enjoying the great outdoors. She 
loved music and decorating for the holidays. 

Since being diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, she spent most of her 
time with her children and friends, taking walks on the beach, and caring for 
her new granddaughter. Her hero was Lance Armstrong, and her motto was "live 
strong."

A memorial service will be held Saturday, April 15, at 11 a.m., at the McElduff-
Jowett Funeral Home in Benzonia, with Pastor Carl Greene officiating. Interment 
will follow the service at the Benzonia Township Cemetery. A luncheon will then
