She is survived by her husband, Jonathan Hintz; mother, Jeanne Caldwell Gentry; brothers, Andrew (Aeri) and J.R. Caldwell (Heather); stepdad, Keith Gentry; Memaw Grace, and her cat, Ditter.
Tara was a sweet, wonderful, inspirational spirit who was loved by everyone. What she loved most was becoming a nanny to Lena and Declan, whom she loved as her own.

The family would like to thank the CCU nurses and staff at St. Joseph Campus for the exceptional care Tara received during the last day of her life.

Though I didn’t know Tara well, having only met her once, I do know of her incredible courage and strength in the face of unthinkable adversity, and of the unwavering love and commitment from Jonathan that sustained her. My daughter Ava truly loved him as her third grade teacher. We are both so very sad for this loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you, Jonathan, and the rest of Tara’s family.
Our deepest sympathy to you Jonathan. We pray for comfort in the days ahead. May God bless you in his tender care and everlasting love. Please know that we are here for you if you are in need of anything.
I send my love and condolences to your family. I was so fortunate to work with Tara for a few years at North Windy Ridge and to enjoy her loving spirit on our Relay For Life team. I remember her for her joy, her passion, and her cheerfulness with my young daughters. We had great times together. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
So sorry for your loss. I pray for God to comfort you and her family in the days ahead.
