Tara Lynn Mackisey, late of Lloydminster, SK passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 12, 2018 at the age of 46 years. She was predeceased by her cherished babas Mary Wingerak and Olga Kindrat; gidos Tony Mackisey and William Kindrat; grandparents Raymond and Pearl McLean; and loving uncles Peter Mackisey, Willard Mackisey, Walter Kopeck, and Terry Kindrat. Tara will be lovingly remembered by her father Garry Mackisey and mom Roberta Mackisey; brother Kevin (Alison) Mackisey; nephews Hayden Matchett and Dilon Colbourne; niece Alicia Colbourne; mother Judy Wallace; uncles Allan (Audrey) Mackisey and Gerald (Cathy) Mackesey; aunts Debbie Mackisey (Clyde Nobbee), Dianne Mackisey, Elise Mackisey, Gail Mackisey, Pat (Bill) Therens, Eleanor McLean and Bev Kopeck; as well as many cousins and friends. Tara was born in Yorkton, SK on October 20, 1971. She moved to Saskatoon in grade six and then to Regina after graduation. She worked in several restaurants and for many years in the floor cleaning business. Tara then began working at 7-Eleven, upgrading herself to manager. She moved to Lloydminster to become manager of 7-Eleven, then to Red Deer and back to Lloydminster. She left 7-Eleven and worked at a laundromat in Lloydminster for a short while, then went back to school to become a registered massage therapist, a job that she truly enjoyed.
Tara was a very friendly, kind, and hardworking person who was always willing to help anyone. Tara loved rocks and salt lamps and truly believed in their healing powers. She always planned to return to playing the flute which she had enjoyed in high school. She loved animals and still missed two rabbits she had years ago, especially her favourite PikaChu. She liked to sit in her chair by the window and read and enjoy the birds and nature outside. She loved working with all of her massage therapy clients and was loved by all of them. She was very happy with her career but unfortunately began to struggle with health issues.
Funeral Liturgy will be held on Monday, June 4, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. in St. Athanasius Ukrainian Catholic Church, 55 McMurchy Avenue, Regina, SK. Interment in Regina Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the St. Athanasius Memorial Church Fund.

Dear Roberta and Garry, We were shocked and saddened to learn you had lost your daughter, Tara. Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss! Tara was a beautiful lady and truly cared for the people in her life; I will miss you Tara! As for her family, I pray for peace and comfort during this time.
Like so many, I will miss Tara and my heart aches for all. She was compassionate, thoughtful, and always had a big smile and hug ready. She instinctively knew when I needed a shoulder or just some simple friendly advice. Her random texts..."Hello darling, how is your morning?" will be missed more than I could ever say. Please know that I will always remember Tara with great respect and when I reminisce about our road trips it will be with a smile and some tears.
My sincere condolences to the family of Tara. I will truly miss you and our talks very much. You were a great massage therapist and friend. I will miss you as you held a special spot in my heart, May you Rest in Peace with the Lord.
Tara, you were a wonderful friend thru high school and beyond. We did a lot of things together which hold many memories for me. You will be remembered fondly and with love. Friends forever, Dawn
Dear Garry and Roberta You have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your daughter Tara. Bob and Evelyn Watson
I am so sorry, but I did hear this sad news until today, when I noticed on Facebook that it was Tara's birthday. I visited her timeline to send best wishes and was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing in June. Although I hadn't seen Tara in a great many years, memories of her bring a smile and fond thoughts. She was a lovely woman and I did indeed enjoy all times we spent together. She had given me a pair of ammonite ear-rings about 20 years ago, from her rock club in Regina. I love them and everytime I wear them (frequently!!) I think of her. She will always take up a chunk of my heart. My condolences to you, her family and friends, for the loss of such a beautiful soul. May she Rest in Peace Forever.
