Obituary of Tina Louise Smith
Tina had a unique way with words and often expressed her thoughts with the saying, “I hate these crackheads.” She was known for her bluntness and her ability to speak her mind without hesitation. However, beneath her candid nature, Tina was a caring and thoughtful person. Her family and friends can attest that she was the life of every party. Tina’s proudest and most cherished accomplishments were the days her children and grandchildren were born. Their arrival brought immeasurable joy and love into her life. She leaves behind her siblings, Barbara Sipes and Richard Keesling, who will forever cherish the memories they shared with their beloved sister. Tina also leaves behind three children, Justin Rhodes, Walker Smith, and Holly Stanley; four grandbabies, Alexander, Jaxon, Oliver, and Melaena, who Tina loved dearly; two fur babies, Chica and Marley; and many nieces and nephews.
Tina was preceded in death by her father, Richard Gene Keesling, and mother, Virginia Ann Barkley.
Anyone fortunate enough to have known Tina will never forget the first time they met her. Her impact on the lives of others was profound, and she will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. May Tina Louis Keesling Smith rest in eternal peace, forever remembered for her vibrant personality and the love she shared with those around her.
