Tara Kimmel
Tara A. Kimmel, age 52, formerly of Celina and most recently of Tiffin, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2024, at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo. Born on August 31, 1972, in Celina, she was the cherished daughter of Tom and Kathy (Eichenauer) Kimmel, who survive her in Celina.
Tara leaves behind a loving family, including her parents; her two brothers, Dan (Ginny) Kimmel of The Woodlands, Texas, and Greg (Nanette) Kimmel of Upper Arlington, Ohio; her nephews, Dylan, Ethan, and Dominic; and her niece, Carmen.
A member of Grand Lake United Methodist Church in Celina, Tara embodied a joyful spirit and a kind heart. She found happiness in life's simplest pleasures: riding her bike, strolling through her neighborhood, and connecting with friends and neighbors. Tara also found fulfillment and camaraderie through her active involvement in the workshops at Mercer County Developmental Disabilities in Celina and the Tiffin Developmental Center in Tiffin.
