Sondra Kay Tarr, 82, of Bedford, Indiana passed on to her Heavenly home at 5:59 a.m. on Friday, August 7th, 2020, at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. Born June 9th, 1938 in Bedford, Indiana she was the daughter of Norma and Daniel Jenkins. She married William C. (Bud) Tarr on September 6th, 1958, and he preceded her in death. Sondra Kay Tarr was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and was remembered by many as a very compassionate and caring person. Her most cherished title was “Mother” to her adopted daughter, Amy Jo, whom she cared for at home, until 10 months ago, when Amy’s new residence became White River Lodge. Amy was born out of Kay’s heart and taking care of her was Kay’s lifelong mission. Kay was a caregiver at heart and was always more concerned about others than herself. She was dedicated to her Father, God and her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She knew His word and stood strong as a faith filled believer. She enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation, especially flowers, as she could always identify and name any variety or species. She is survived by her daughters, Tracy (Kevin) Yeary, Amy Jo Tarr and son-in-law Jeff Chastain. Beloved grandchildren; Matthew Chastain, Jason (Melanie) Chastain, Hannah (Jordan) Burcham and Clinton Yeary. Great grandchildren; Lucas, Peyton, Emily, Dylan, and Lillie Chastain.
