While attending Ballard High School, she helped at the family business, worked at the Ballard Public Library, & was a "Candy Striper" at the Ballard Hospital. Learning piano & violin when young sparked a lifelong passion, & she graduated from Univ of Wash in 1954 with a degree in Music. She began as a school teacher in Wenatchee then moved to Quilcene Elementary. While at a local square dance she met Marvin Tarr, they soon married, & raised children Eugene, Peter, & Irene. She was an active mother & enjoyed many activities including hiking, camping, & traveling. She played violin in the P.A. Symphony Orchestra, provided piano & violin lessons, played music at nursing homes, for weddings, funerals, & church services.
