Taramatie “Tara” Kraft, age 61, of Worthington, MN, passed away on Monday, September 27, 2021, at the Sanford Worthington Medical Center. She was born on May 31, 1960, in Trinidad & Tabago, to Lalman and Roopwantie (Jaipersad) Singh. Her parents named her Taramatie because Tara means star and Matie means intelligence. Therefore, she was truly a star of intelligence.
Tara graduated in Trinidad and went on to pursue her dreams of garment school. She loved her family and friends and always had a beautiful smile on her face. Tara married Bruce Kraft in Trinidad and later moved to the United States. Tara was the mother to Angelica, Brianna, and Kimberly. She raised her children with love and devotion.
As a successful entrepreneur, Tara was known for her amazing work with both her businesses. Her love for business started when she started selling Mary Kay where she received the award for 5th National in the United States. Tara spent a lot of time at the laundromat but her passion was her bridal store. She always wanted to help bring people together; by doing wedding dresses she made a lot of girls happy on their special days and all other occasions. She was well known in her community and hometown for her advice and conversations with others. Tara recently had put all her time and infinite love in her grandchild, Jayden Ayaan Kraft-Ortiz. Jayden was Tara’s lifeline.
