Supporting the Armento Family’s Journey with Love

Honoring Tara Armento: A Legacy of Love & Strength

On February 1, 2025, Tara Lynn (Metzler) Armento, 45, of Exton, PA, passed away peacefully with her family by her side after bravely battling Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, for nearly two years. She faced this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and unwavering love that defined her life.

Tara was a devoted wife to Mike, an incredible mother to Carmela and Giuliana, and a beloved daughter, sister, friend, and coach. She poured her heart into everything she did—whether coaching at her family's gymnastics center, Metzler’s Gymnastics, guiding and inspiring young athletes, or simply lighting up every room with her joy, laughter, and love for dancing.

Her impact on the community, especially in gymnastics and cheerleading, is immeasurable. She not only shaped the skills of her athletes but also touched their hearts, instilling confidence, perseverance, and a love for life.

Now, as her family navigates this profound loss, we—her friends, family, and community—have the opportunity to rally around them with love and support. This fund is not about financial hardship but rather a way for those whose lives were touched by Tara to express their love for her by standing with Mike, Carmela, and Giuliana in the difficult days and years ahead.

In the spirit of Tara’s giving heart, the Armento family will donate a portion of the proceeds from this fund to pay it forward to another local family affected by cancer. This gesture reflects Tara’s lifelong commitment to uplifting those around her, ensuring that her kindness and generosity continue to make a difference.

Whether through a donation, a shared memory, or simply keeping Tara’s family in your thoughts, your support will help provide comfort and stability as they adjust to this new reality. Let’s honor Tara’s legacy by surrounding her family with the same warmth, love, and encouragement she so freely gave everyone around her.

Thank you for being part of the village, which will continue to uplift and support the Armento family and help extend Tara’s legacy of generosity to others in need.
