Tina Renee Rolen passed away on September 21, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, love, laughter, strength, and family.
Tina attended Hilldale High School in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and moved to Georgia when she was eighteen years old. From there, she planted roots and built a life centered around the people who mattered most to her.
Tina’s life was all about family, her children, and her grandchildren. She gave her time and love freely, and throughout her life she cared for many of her family’s children. She cultivated special connections and lasting friendships with her nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless family members. When family needed someone, Tina was always there to help. She believed family was better together, and she had a way of bringing people into the same joint, no matter how complicated life became.
Tina was known for being blunt, straightforward, and never afraid to speak her mind. She told it like it was, and you always knew where you stood with her. Her honesty was part of what made her uniquely Tina.
From birth until the end of her life, Tina was as fiery as her red hair. She possessed a strength and fearlessness that carried her through life’s challenges. Tina was not one to back down. She faced life head-on, with determination, courage, and a spirit all her own. She rolled with the punches, weathered the storms, and kept moving forward in her own unmistakable way.
Tina was preceded in death by her father, Larry Wilkins; her husband, Warren Daniel Sr.; and her grandparents, Frank and Ada Dyer.
She leaves to cherish her memory her mother, Thelma Wilkins; her sisters, Angie Hardwick of Hull, Georgia; Pam Branton of Hugo, Oklahoma; and Lisa Lemons of Wolf City, Texas; and her brother, Michael Rolen of Elberton, Georgia.
She is survived by her children, Justin Daniel, and Ashley Daniel, lovingly known to her mother as Ash, and her beloved grandchildren, Jackoby Daniel, Vayda Daniel, Nigello R. Bey, Micah Mason-Daniel, Kahl-El N. Richmond, N’Rael D. Craft, and Nevaya Mason-Daniel.
Tina’s greatest legacy is the family she loved so fiercely. The children she raised, the grandchildren she cherished, the nieces and nephews she cared for, and the many family members she supported will carry pieces of her with them for the rest of their lives. Like roots beneath the ground, the love she planted will continue to grow long after she is gone.
She will be remembered for her strength, honesty, fierce love of family, straightforward nature, and fearless spirit. Tina lived life in her own way and left an impression that will not easily be forgotten. Her memory will remain evergreen in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Though her journey on this earth has come to an end, the love she gave, the lessons she taught, and the memories she created will continue through the generations she leaves behind. Her life’s story has many branches, but they all grew from strong roots, and those roots run deep.
Rest peacefully, Tina. You were one of a kind, and you will be deeply missed.
