Tara Michelle Quinones

Tara Quinones was born on February 1st, 1974 to Yolanda and Joe. She was a smart, caring, and strong woman. Growing up, she was talented in the art of fashion and beauty which followed her into adulthood. She got certified in cosmetology and had a deep caring for wellness. She always saw the best in people, always had a smile on her face. Her presence would light up the room even when she had her first brain cancer diagnosis in 2013. She beat it with a smile. She was a jack-of-all trades including being a great cook, an artist, a model, a fashion designer, a great dancer, and a great mom. A role model to the very end.

Tara unfortunately succumbed to stage 4 brain cancer on July 6th, 2024 in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was survived by her two daughters (Samara and Amanda), her mother (Yolanda), her sister (Tamika), and many loving friends and family. Her smile, voice, and laughter will forever be missed.
