She also has 6 great-grandchildren Seth, Saul, Mia, Lexi, Dominick and Fabrizia. Tarsilla raised her family in southern California until 1977 when they moved to Morrilton, Arkansas with their youngest child. As a young woman, Tarsilla showed a talent in the arts and she had a passion for crafts of all kinds. She painted, sculpted, made dolls as well as restored them. She loved antiques and was an expert at their restoration. She loved anything she could do with her hands, including tole painting, rug making, upholstery, embroidery, tatting, beading and quilting. In other words, she could do it all! Of all the crafts she pursued, quilting was what sustained her. She also loved to dance! Tarsilla was involved in her community. She was a member of the Newcomers Club, Red Hatters, Arkansas Quilters Guild, Morrilton Gardening Club and was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Aside from her home life and hobbies, Tarci loved to travel. She and her husband John traveled our country for months in their RV. Tarci loved meeting people and enjoyed the outdoors. Over the years she had visited over 24 states as well as Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain and Italy. In Tarci’s last days, she was so appreciative of all her friends and family that came to visit and especially those who helped so she could remain in her home of 36 years. Tarsilla succumbed to complications associated with interstitutial pulmonary fibrosis in Conway, Arkansas on Wednesday, February 6, 2013. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested in Tarci’s memory to The Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis, 10866 W. Washington Blvd. #343, Culver City, CA 90232
