Obituary of Tiara Nicole Pope
Tiara Nicole Yavorsky was born in Monroe, Michigan on August 12, 1982. She was one of two children born from the union of Michael Boyd Yavorsky and Janit Lee (Sparks) Yavorsky. Tiara attended Monroe High School.
She would be a wonderful and devoted mother to her three children always placing their needs ahead of her own. To support her family, Tiara, had performed factory work and was employed by several local restaurants prior to finding employment with Bob Evans in Monroe. She loved her job at Bob Evans and although she was a homebody by nature, she thrived in her waitress position and with her interaction with fellow employees and customers.
Tiara was also an excellent cook. It was well-known that she made the best mashed potatoes and biscuits and gravy among other special dishes. She enjoyed the company of others, sharing time often with family and friends. Growing up, it was widely known that Tiara was a daddy’s girl. She loved to do whatever her father was doing, and this soon even parlayed into riding on Mike’s Harley.
A crime show enthusiast, she avidly watched the ID channel and even had her family tuning in. In 2014, Tiara married Josh Pope. Recently, Tiara was blessed with the birth of a grandson, which changed her whole world, and she was the most amazing grandmother.
