🕊️ Help Lay Tabetha Rader to Rest with Dignity 🕊️

It’s with deep pain and heartbreak that I share this: my sister, Tabetha Rader, has passed away under tragic and suspicious circumstances. She has been in the morgue for five days now, and her final wish was not to be cremated. We want to honor that wish—but we need help to make it possible.

If you knew Tab, you couldn’t help but love her. She was wild, she was vibrant, and she had a way of lighting up a room. Growing up, I’ll admit, I could only take her in small doses—but today, I’d give anything to take all she had to give. She was looking forward to better days, to a reunion with her adult children and grandbabies. She was waiting on a settlement—not a fortune, but enough to finally get on her feet again.

She never got that chance.

The money is gone. So is she. And there are still so many unanswered questions. Just six months ago, Tab told me that if anything ever happened to her, I should know who to look for. We are now trying to piece together a digital and paper trail to find out what really happened—and to hold the person responsible for both her death and the missing funds accountable.

If you know anything, please contact me directly or reach out to the Fayette County Police Department. And if you can, please consider donating to help us give Tab the burial she deserves. No amount is too small. Every dollar helps bring peace, closure, and dignity.
