Tina S. Bartlett, age 64, of Unadilla, died Monday, November 3, 2025, at her residence.
Born in Mobile, Alabama, she was the daughter of the late James Howard Shepherd and Doris Ward Shepherd. She was also preceded in death by her loving husband of 34 years Dennis Bartlett.

She found joy in the small comforts of life like doing crafts, fishing, and gardening. Her gentle spirit brought a steady comfort to many animals in her care. She loved all the animals she had throughout her life and was never without a pet to love.
Survivors include her son Matthew Bartlett of Bonaire; daughter, Samantha Bartlett of Perry; her grandchildren, Hartley Jones and Ridge Jones; her sister, Dianne Shepherd (Wayne Hall) of Riverdale; many nieces and nephews; her dogs Shep and Charlie.
