Tink Bolin

Tink Bolin (Mrs. Sanford Bolin), age 64, of Little Rock, lost her short battle with cancer on January 28, 2011. Tink was born Marian Osborne Ward to Marion and Ruth Ward in Little Rock on December 22, 1946. She is survived by her husband of 30 years Sanford, her son, Shawn Reed, stepsons, Orville (Barbara) Bolin, and Everett (Debbie) Bolin; stepdaughter, Sandy (Jay) Dunn. Grandchildren Sydney Reed, Marina Bolin, Reese Bolin, Christopher (Briane) Dunn, Alexis Dunn and Bradley Jones; great-grandchildren, twins Chloe and Carleigh Dunn and sisters, Sharon (Hubert) Bajorek and Julie (Don) Rodgers. Tink is also survived by her countless childhood and lifelong friends too numerous to name. She had a special gift of connecting and communicating with people wherever she went and never missed an opportunity to help a friend in need or an acquaintance she recently met. Her love and compassion coupled with her sincere interest in their lives made her the special person she was. Her family and friends are feeling the sadness and emptiness of her passing, but are comforted by knowing she is in a better place. There will be a visitation from 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, January 31, 2011, at Ruebel Funeral home followed by a celebration of Tink's life at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 in the chapel of Ruebel Funeral Home officiated by Reverend Dan Burleson. Burial will follow at Forest Hills Memorial Park Mausoleum. Memorials may be made to the Pulaski County Humane Society in memory of her beloved pets: Valentine, Cinnamon, Sophie, and Nugget. Arrangements are under the directions of Ruebel Funeral Home. www.reubelfuneralhome.com.
