Madison - Tara Lynn Martin, 45, passed away Thursday, August 31, 2023, after a difficult battle with a long illness. Tara was born December 11, 1977; she grew up and graduated high school in Dodgeville, WI, and lived many years in the Spring Green & Madison areas.

Our beloved Tara was a great cook, talented musician, caring funeral director and mental health advocate. Tara was an avid fan of archeology, horror books & films, the supernatural and the macabre. She loved camping, trail rides and the outdoors of Wisconsin.

Tara is survived by her son, Avery Sandker, parents Jeff & Lynn Martin, sister Allison Bloom and her children, Miriam & Coco Bloom, Grandmothers Shirley Lewis & Mary Martin, and her extended family & friends.

She is preceded in death by her Grandfathers Ken Lewis & Wayne Martin, and far too many friends.
