ALASKA — Tari K. Flannery, 49, was unexpectedly taken to her Heavenly home on April 8, 2012, where she ran into the open arms of her Dad, Bill Flannery (who preceded her in death on Jan. 18, 2010).
 Tari was born to Marilyn and Bill Flannery on Dec. 28, 1962. Seeking adventure, Tari followed Dave Kimball to Alaska; they married and later divorced. Tari met Jeff Lindow, who she married on March 27, 1993, and on Aug. 16, 1995, Lindsea, the light of their lives, was born.
Tari enjoyed traveling the state, camping and fishing; she spent two seasons commercial fishing on Jeff’s boat in Fall’s Pass. A farm girl at heart, summers found Tari back home in Minnesota, milking cows and bailing hay on the family farm. Tari was known as “Auntie T” to her friend’s children, as well as her many nieces and nephews.
In 1983, Tari was hired by Lorraine O’Neal as a data entry clerk in the escrow department of First National Bank Alaska. She loved the work and excelled in the financial field. At the time of her death, she was senior escrow officer. She was well-known in the banking and real estate industry as a leader and committed volunteer. She was a founding member of the Alaska State Escrow Association and served as a past president and director. Additionally, she was a member of the American Escrow Association. Tari was also a member of the National Association of Mortgage Women and an affiliate member of the Anchorage Board of Realtors. In recognition of her dedication and achievements, on more than one occasion, she was elected Affiliate of the Year for the Board of Realters and Member of the Year for the State Escrow Association. Tari was an active member of St. Benedict Catholic Church.
Friends and co-workers will remember Tari for her leadership qualities and her willingness to work hard as a tireless volunteer. She was always willing to help others. She loved to cook and threw many great parties, including her St. Patrick’s Day feasts and annual office prime rib luncheons. Tari will most be remembered for her laughter. She was the center of every party; she loved a good practical joke; and she was committed to enjoying life to the fullest.
She is survived by her husband, Jeff; daughter, Lindsea; mother, Marilyn (Tschumper) Flannery; siblings, Joe (Laurie) Flannery and their children, Dylan and Cole; Roxanne (Terry) Von Arx and their children, Courtney, Brittany and Abigail; Jean (John) Braund and their children, Morgan and Kendra; Dean (Hope) Flannery and their son, Colin; her brothers-in-law, Tom (Kitty) Lindow and their children, Brock, Natasha and Haley; Tony (Kelly) Lindow; Erik (Rita) Lindow and their children, August, Kathryn and Sharon; John (April) Lindow; Billy (Renee) Lindow. Tari is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and very dear friends/co-workers.
She was preceded in death by her father; mother and father-in-law, Bill and Ruth Delia (Dee) Lindow; and sister-in-law, Kitty Lindow. May they rest in peace.
A Mass of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 21, 2012 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Brownsville, Minn. Friends and family may call from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at the church.
There will be a Celebration of Life on April 28th at American Veterans Post 2 (855 East 38th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99503).

Traditional Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

SETTLEMENT INDUSTRY TRADE ASSOCIATION
What is AEA up to lately?....
Board of Director's go to Washington, D.C.
March 2012
The Board of Directors traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with representatives from Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, American Land Title Association, National Association of Realtors, as well as meetings with several Senators and Congressmen from our respective member states. Our focus was to discuss the upcoming changes in our industry as affected by the Dodd-Frank Law. This includes new regulations including new consumer disclosure forms proposed to be used by lenders and settlement agents.
The American Escrow Association (AEA) is the national association of real estate settlement agents.
On the national level, AEA is proactive on behalf of professionals conducting all types of settlement practices throughout the United States.
Our goals are to further the knowledge and professionalism of the settlement agent through education and to, also, educate and advise decision makers at the national level on issues of consequence to the settlement industry, as a whole.
In June 2011 at the Annual Education Conference held in Las Vegas, our incoming President, Carolyn Marcial conveyed her message to "Get onboard the AEA train" and this video clip was presented, Proud Past, Promising Future. This next video clip is of the 2011/2012 Installation Luncheon with Carolyn Marcial giving her incoming President's speech, Installation.
The August 2011 Board of Director's planning retreat was full of lots of adventure including a tour of the U.S.S. Midway in San Diego, California. The following video is an impromtu interview with President Carolyn Marcial and Arizona State Director, Carlye Buxton, Interview and what does the U.S.S. Midway have in common with the American Escrow Association, find out by clicking on the next video clip, Midway.
