Tenia Lynn Rowland, 62, of Grenada, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, January 11, 2025, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center – Grenada. She was born on January 9, 1963, in Grenada to Wallace Milton Dunn, Sr. and Faye Dunn.

A woman of strong faith and devotion, Tenia's commitment to her church was at the heart of who she was. Raised in the Church of God of Prophecy, she later became a dedicated member and poured her heart into serving others. Her deep faith was matched only by her resilience, strength, and fierce independence. She modeled these qualities to her daughters and helped shape them into strong, compassionate, and self-sufficient women, much like she was.

While Tenia took immense pride in being a mother, it was the role of Mimi that truly brought her the greatest joy. She loved her grandchildren and went out of her way to make them feel loved when they were with her.

Beyond her immediate family, Tenia was a beloved sister, aunt, and friend. She shared a deep and enduring love for her siblings. Her nieces, nephews, and their children always felt cherished and supported by her. Tenia had a gift for making everyone around her feel special and valued, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts of all who knew her.

Tenia will be remembered as a devoted Mama, Mimi, Sister, Aunt, and a Woman of Faith whose strength, grace, and unconditional love will continue to inspire all who were fortunate to know her.

She was welcomed in heaven by her parents, Wallace Milton Dunn, Sr. and Faye Dunn, and her brother, William Jeffrey "Jack" Dunn.

Tenia is survived by her daughters, Jessica Hambrick of Enid and Brandi Ratliff of Brandon; her grandchildren, Elizabeth, Kaitlyn, Brooklyn, Maddox, and Sophie; her siblings Wallace Dunn, Jr., Lisa Lindley (Bill), and Amanda Cook, all of Grenada; One Sister-in-law, Teresa Dunn of Spring Hill, TN, as well as her nieces, nephews, cousins and their families, all of whom she loved dearly.

A memorial service to honor Tenia's life will be announced at a later time.

Though Tenia will be deeply missed, her legacy of love, faith, and a fighting spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and all who knew her.
