Tara Michelle Brown resided in Greensboro, NC and was born July 25, 1977 in Burlington, NC.

She left this world on August 7, 2021 at 44 years of age. She succumbed to severe clinical depression which she had battled courageously and been treated for many years. We know the loving hands of God holds her tight providing peace and comfort to her soul.

She is survived by her loving and supportive family, including her father and step-mom Michael and Vicki Brown, brother Troy Brown (Kaitlin). There might have been a hint of a "Daddy's Girl" relationship with her father. Also surviving Tara are her mother and step-father Linda and Brian Hurdle Sr., brother Robbie Hurdle (Becca), and step-brother Brian Hurdle Jr. (Gina). Tara is also survived by her grandmother Barbara Montgomery Pattishall. Tara was predeceased by grandparents Billie and Frances Phillips, Ernest, Maxine and Inez Brown, as well as Pat Pattishall and her aunt Donna Montgomery Weatherspoon.

Tara was never more happy than when surrounded by her extended family especially when it included nieces, cousins and their children. She would want to send her eternal love to all: nieces Emilia and Kennedy Brown, Ann Elizabeth and Catie Hurdle, Alexis Hurdle as well as nephew Austin Hurdle.Her cousins that happened to be in close geographical proximity were like brothers and sisters to Tara and were loved deeply. Brian Dixon, Candice Dixon Patrick, Leslie Ferrell Moyer, Chad Ferrell, and Heather Ferrell were a tight-knit group but are now missing a cog in the wheel. The annual beach trips remained a most cherished memory. She also was proud of cousins Jean Claude Shore and especially Michelle Shore who understood her challenges better than most. Aunts and uncles were her rock, Donna Shore and Janice Phillips Bray, as well as, Terry and Rodney Dixon, Wendy Ferrell, Pat Weatherspoon and from afar Kirby (Sandy) Lashley and Gurney (Elena) Lashley and their families. Likewise she loved the annual family reunion of the Thompson/Cates clan.

The family will welcome all visitors Monday night at Rich and Thompson in Burlington NC at 306 Glenwood Avenue from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Her funeral services open to all will be held Tuesday morning at 10:45 am in the Church of the Covenant Presbyterian at 501 S Mendenhall St. Greensboro, NC. Tara found this to be the most open and welcoming church community and loved volunteering there. (The Church has a strict mask mandate and encourages social distancing – Tara's family will supply masks to anyone who may have forgotten them)

Burial will follow immediately at Alamance Memorial Park which is about a 15 minute drive from the Church to 4039 S. Church St Burlington, NC

Although Tara loved gardening and flowers, she would love to see contributions made in her memory to:
The Church of the Covenant Presbyterian at 501 S Mendenhall St. Greensboro NC 27403 or the Mental Health Greensboro 700 Walter Reed Dr. Greensboro, NC 27403, or to the organization of your choice that provides mental health care to those that cannot afford it.
