TARA LYNN LAMB (nee WACHAL) July 4, 1973 - March 24, 2005 With saddened hearts we announce the passing of our Tara on March 24, 2005 with her husband, family and friends at her side. Tara will be forever remembered by her loving husband, best friend and soul mate Mike; her parents, Bruce and Ann; grandmother Lillian Wachal; sister Shannon (Mike) and brother Jay; father-in-law Bill (Lorraine); mother-in-law Judy; Baba Stella Sempovitch; sister-in-law Corinne Mizak (Derek) and soon to be born twin nieces. Also her many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, co-workers and students, her fuzzy kids, Eddie and Bosco, Dairy and Harley, Mort and Jenny. Growing up as a middle child helped develop Tara's individual and unique personality. She thrived on doing things different, making it interesting and kept you guessing. Growing up Tara's many interests included baseball, tap dancing, painting, baking, gardening and sewing. She worked part-time at the Half Moon Drive Inn for ten years while attending school, making many new friends. Tara graduated from university and went into teaching at Lockport Junior High school, the same school she attended. Some of her co-workers were once her teachers. Tara married the love of her life and high school sweetheart Mike. They did it their way having a Halloween social and getting married in Las Vegas and totally had a blast. Mike and Tara loved their time together, at home, going to the beach, at the lake and just being with their friends and family. Tara's love of gardening showed as each year, new flowers were added and bloomed. Tara was always creating. She loved to bake, and her unique cakes and cookies will be remembered by a lot of people. If anyone got a card or gift from her, it was always decorated in a very special way. Tara prided herself in being invited to make borscht with Baba and her friends every fall. Tara was a member of the Alpha Delta Kappa sorority. Tara gave 150% of herself when it came to her students and always went above and beyond doing extras for her kids . She was involved in drama, French club travels, ski club and coaching sports and excelled at being a wonderful teacher and friend. Mike and the family appreciate all the things that everyone did for Tara and us during this very difficult time. Thank you and we love you all. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of her life will be held at Glen Eden Funeral Home on Thursday, March 31 at 10:00 a.m. A memorial service will be held at Lockport School for students and co-workers after spring break. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Manitoba Division, 400-141 Bannatyne Ave., Winnipeg, R3B 0R3. Tara, you were taken from us much too soon. If tear drops could build a stair case, And memories build a lane, We would walk up to heaven, And bring you back home again. Pooshka, you will always be my baby girl.

  • Not many times in life are we faced with such heart break and sadness. We take comfort in knowing Tara is in a better place; and smile in knowing that they had no idea what they had coming to them. She lived life to the fullest, and as short as it was at least it was lived the way she wanted. Love to you all. XOXO. - Posted by: Erin, Jim and Emma Harris (Terhoch) (Friend) on: Mar 29, 2005
