Zara Jane Rowand

Zara Jane Rowand was born on April 15 at 10:39 a.m., and though her time here was brief, she filled our lives with a love so deep it will last forever. She passed peacefully the same day at 12:15 p.m., leaving behind a family forever changed by her presence. 

Zara was deeply loved from the very beginning. From the moment her mommy knew she was carrying her, she was surrounded by hope and unconditional love. Her mommy showed such beautiful devotion to her, never giving up, holding onto every moment with strength and love that will always be remembered. 

She is the cherished daughter of Taylor Rowand; the beloved granddaughter of Christopher and Janna Rowand; and the deeply loved niece of Hunter Rowand and Tanner Rowand. Zara was also surrounded by many extended family members who loved her so very much.

 Though we did not get the time we longed for, Zara Jane Rowand will always be a part of us. She will be present in every holiday, every family gathering, every quiet moment, and every memory we carry forward. She has left a mark on our hearts that can never be replaced. 

We find comfort in knowing she is surrounded by the love of those who have gone before her—held, protected, and never alone. She is wrapped in peace and love until the day we are all together again. 

Zara Jane Rowand will always be remembered, always be celebrated, and always be loved.
