Trina Ratliff Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Miller-Stewart Funeral Home on Mar. 30, 2026.
Trina L. Ratliff, 55, of Middlebury, passed away unexpectedly at 12:14 pm, on Saturday, March 28, at her home. She was born on March 13, 1971, in LaGrange, to David and Anna M. (Hartman) Begley. Surviving are two sons, Scott (Britney) Fulks of Franklin, Blake (Abigail) Begley of Howe; daughter, Kayla (Devin) Toxopeus of Niles; nine grandchildren; two sisters, Melissa (Mark) Byars of Las Vegas, NV, Teri Pontious of Elkhart; brother, David (Tracy) Begley Jr. of Elkhart. She was preceded in death by her mother; and Ruth Y. Slone, who was like a mother to Trina. Most recently, Trina was a housekeeper. She loved her grandchildren, music, and couldn't resist telling a "bad joke". There will be two hours of visitation prior to the 12-noon celebration of life service on Saturday April 4, at Miller-Stewart Funeral Home, 1003 S. Main St., Middlebury. Burial will be in Sidener Cemetery, Howe. Online condolences may be offered at millerstewartfuneralhome.com.
