Tara M. Poplin, born December 28th, 1979 in Maryville, Tn, passed away Friday, March 8, 2019. She is survived by her mother and stepfather Sandy and Houston Brown, father and stepmother Steve and Carolyn Poplin, sister and step siblings Stephanie Arlington, Kennon Seal, Jenny Willis, and Libby McConnell, nieces and nephews Madeleine and Grey Lonker, Cody and Bailey Willis, Kenlee and Kyla McConnell, and great niece Lyla Coakley. Tara was truly unique individual in every way. She was young at heart and always lit up a room with her contagious smile. She had a wonderful personality and could make friends with just about anyone. She had a strong passion for gardening, with an ability to bring any plant back to life. She loved to cook and she loved to dance. In honor of her memory, Tara’s family is building a garden memorial in which her ashes will be spread among prayer. Per her family’s wishes the memorial service will remain private. Tara was loved by many and will be dearly missed. May her beautiful spirit live on through the hearts and memories of her loved ones, and may she rest peacefully in Heaven. “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.” -Helen Keller
