Tamar Arsholous Rizk-Allan.

Born into the arms of her parents on August 29th, 1978 she fell  asleep in the Lord’s arms on February 25th, 2015.  She was a beloved daughter of Sarkis and Marie. Beloved sister of Angel, Linda (Joshua) and Laura. She was a loving Aunt to Jacob, Audrina, Tyler, and Eva. Being the second oldest child she was the link that kept the family chain together.  An over achiever from the start, she had many early jobs while excelling in school. There was nothing she could not do.  She graduated George Washington High School in 1996. Very mindful of education she was always trying to better herself by taking numerous classes in multiple subjects.  She went on to achieve a degree from The University of Massachusetts Lowell in criminal justice.  She worked as a case manager for the Federal Bureau of Prisons U.S. Penitentiary of Leavenworth.  She was dedicated to her career working hard and taking a personal interest in those under her care.  Always trying to help them transition and succeed in society. She accomplished much in her career including earning many awards for her work and translating.  She was full of life and enjoyed many activities including travel, track and field, Hiking, Zip lining, and shooting.  She was a positive inspiration to everyone, inspiring many to continue their education, being a mentor to her sisters, and always telling it how it was. That love for life translated into more friends than you can count.  Hers is a life you can’t sum up in words. Her life was a legacy that will surely live on. She will be dearly missed and forever in our Hearts and Prayers.
