Tyne Jeannine Jenkins, age 57, of Jasper, Georgia, passed away Wednesday, October 22, 2025 at Piedmont Mountainside Hospital. She was born August 8, 1968 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tyne had several jobs along the way. Her favorite was bagging groceries at Publix. She always said the people came to see her!
The last 8 years Tyne spent 3 days a week at Burnt Mountain Center where she made friendships with staff and clients.
