Tara's grandparents were Kay and John Crawford of Westminister, California, and Gloria and Calvin De Cuir of Downey, California. Tara had a tremendous joy of living and a never-ending sense of humor. Tara grew up in Downey and attended Downey schools until her grandparents Calvin and Gloria and her mother Toni moved to Lake Havasu City. Tara graduated from Lake Havasu High School in 2005. Tara came back to California for a short period of time to attend CSUF but changed the direction of her life by marrying David Nattershell, who was serving with the USMC at Camp Pendleton in California. At that time Tara was employed as a dancer at Sea World in San Diego. Shortly after, Tara returned to Havasu where she received her associate degree in theater arts. Tara's true love was singing and dancing. Tara was involved in music in Havasu in numerous ways. Tara sang like an angel! She continued her theatrical path in community theater. Her singing teacher, Karen Hamstra, was a true champion for Tara. Karen encouraged Tara and was a wonderful coach. Grace Ann Etcheberria-Jacobs, owner of Grace Art Studio, was another significant person in Tara's life. Tara had featured performances in productions of Peter Pan, Brigadoon, Camelot, Damn Yankees and The Sound of Music. Tara is survived by her mother Toni De Cuir of Lake Havasu City, her uncle Joseph De Cuir of Downey, California, her Aunt Betty and Uncle Willy of Eagle, Idaho, and God Parents Jerry and Connie Boyce of Lake Havasu City.
