Tann Gardner—affectionately known as “MsTann”—is a Fort Worth native whose life reflects a legacy of care, commitment, and community.
Inspired by her late mother, Ms. JoAnn, a beloved figure in the funeral industry for over 50 years, MsTann brings both tradition and innovation to the family business.
With more than a decade of experience as a senior care administrator, she’s championed quality home care and dignity for older adults across the DFW metroplex.
Her background in community health and public administration—bolstered by her Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education and Master’s in Public Administration—grounds her work in both compassion and excellence. MsTann ensures every detail is handled with warmth and excellence.
Her commitment to volunteering and civic engagement reflects the heart of TruCare: a family that gives back…a business that helps and a funeral home that really cares.
Together, Kelton and MsTann have three incredible children—Tavyn, Kelslon, and Kelton Jr.
Kelton Gardner’s passion for the funeral profession runs deep woven into the fabric of his life from the very beginning. Even as a child growing up in Fort Worth, he felt a calling to serve families through the sacred work of funeral care.
That dream took root early, and by his teenage years, Kelton was apprenticing at his uncle’s funeral home, learning the rhythms of the profession from seasoned mentors at several of the city’s legacy funeral firms.
Behind the scenes, Kelton became known not just for his industry artistry, but for his rare gift: genuine compassion. His work honors life with dignity and tradition, a reflection of the care he brings to each family he serves. Those who knew his late parents, Linda and Carl Gardner, often say they’d be immensely proud of the heart and dedication Kelton brings to every ceremony, every gesture, every time.
To know Kelton is to know someone who is, quite simply, “all things funeral.”
