Tara Reynolds

It is with our heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tara Reynolds, who left us peacefully surrounded by her Tribe on August 14, 2025 at the age of 47.

Tara was a devoted mother, cherished family member, and beloved friend. She will be remembered for her smile, thoughtfulness, giving nature, strength, and kindness. Her presence brought laughter and connection, and her soul will live on with those who knew her.

Tara dedicated 25 years of her career to Northern Contours before life led her on new adventures-selling her home, traveling the West Coast, and spending a brief time in Minneapolis. In March of 2023, she found what she called her dream job at Canine Acres, where she often said she had the best co-workers-both two- and four-legged.

Tara lived a life full of family, friends, and joy. She loved attending concerts, collecting records, and sharing her passion for music. She had a sweet tooth for pastries, a soft spot for children and dogs, and a love for capturing moments through photographs. Her interests were wide and vibrant-traveling, enjoying the arts, reading, biking, kayaking, and, of course, keeping up with the Kardashians.

She is survived by her son, Brady Phillips; sister, Tonya Haugen; sister, Tiffany (Wes) Reynolds; niece, Breanna Haugen; nephew, Aaron Haugen; boyfriend, Benjamin Johnson; bonus son, Liam Johnson; Brady's father, Kyle Phillips; "Oscar Meyer Wiener Dog", and many cousins and countless number of friends. Tara was preceded in death by mother, Marty Reynolds; father, Sharold Reynolds; Auntie Pat, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Don, and Cousin Steve.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday September 7th 2025 at Elks Point (Lower Pavilion) from 12pm-3pm.

Everyone who knew her is invited to join us in sharing stories and memories in honor of her life, offering comfort to her friends and family.

(Toot) Tara's love, laughter, and kindness will never be forgotten.
