Tiawanna Blackburn, age 62, passed away on November 23, 2024. She was born in Waycross, GA, on July 30, 1962, the daughter of the late James and Oma (Bartley) Cole. She was united in marriage to the late Allen E. Blackburn.

Tiawanna was an avid bicyclist in her younger years and had a deep love for music that she shared with everyone around her. She adored being surrounded by her family and treasured time spent outdoors, appreciating nature's beauty. Anyone who knew her, knew you could always find her with a cup of tea in hand. Known for her culinary talents, she made the best cheesecakes ever—a treat her family and friends cherished.

She is survived by her children: Michelle (Rick) Martinez-Vorpagel, Aurelio (Tracy) Martinez, Tylo Blackburn, and Isabella (Matthew) Klug; her beloved cat, Squirrel Girl; and her five grandchildren.
