Obituary of Tina May Roberts

September 5, 1975 – June 17, 2025

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Tina Roberts, who lost her courageous battle with ongoing health issues on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family.

Tina was a devoted mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. She lived her life with strength, loyalty, and a fierce love that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her presence was powerful, her compassion genuine, and her sense of humor unforgettable.

Tina cherished being a mother to her daughter, Ashley Creed, and an aunt to her beloved nephews. She enjoyed working along side her big sister, and found great joy in the simple things—bon fires and especially long motorcycle rides with her ride-or-die Chris Rutledge, where she felt most free.

She will be deeply missed by her daughter Ashley Creed; her mother Linda Roberts (née Wesley); her sister Tracy Stemerdink (née Roberts); her brother Andy Roberts; her nephews Seth Stemerdink, Ethan Stemerdink, Dominick Roberts, and Foxx Roberts; her stepson Tyler Rutledge; and her partner and best friend, Chris Rutledge.

Tina is reunited with her father, Charlie Roberts (passed 2019), and her grandmother, Millie Wesley (passed 2020), likely enjoying a coffee or two.

A celebration of Tina’s life will be held later this summer, where family and friends can gather to honor her memory and the lasting impact she made on all of us.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you simply be kind to others and love fiercely—just as Tina did.
