Tara Marie Rodriguez

April 10, 1981 ~ June 17, 2026

Born in: Jamestown, NY
Resided in: Jacksonville, FL

Tara Rodriguez, born on April 10, 1981, passed away on June 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. She was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend whose kindness and strength touched the lives of everyone who knew her.

Tara is survived by her loving husband, Jose Rodriguez; her four daughters, MacKayla, Rhyanne, Makaih, and Jonalyz; her son, Josue; and her cherished grandchildren, whom she adored and lovingly embraced in her role as “Nona.”

She is also survived by her parents, Mary Hernandez, Terrie Sellen, and William Heath; her seven sisters and three brothers; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

Tara found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved bargain shopping, treating herself to manicures, and spending quality time with her family. Her warmth, laughter, resilience, and unwavering love for those around her will be deeply missed.

Tara’s final wish was to be cremated and remain close to those she loved most. In honoring her wishes, her ashes will remain with her husband and children. There will be no formal funeral or memorial service at this time.

Crevasse’s Simple Cremation is honored to serve the Rodriguez family.
