Tina Marie Myrick

Tina Marie Myrick (Malone), 65, of Fort Walton Beach, FL, passed away peacefully on April 7, 2026.

She was born on May 8, 1960 in Tyler, TX to Dorothy Malone and Charles Malone. After her time in Tyler, she moved to Madisonville, KY where she completed high school. One holiday weekend, she found herself in Fort Walton Beach and decided that it was going to be home. While in Florida, she spent her time enjoying the outdoors - whether that meant hunting, fishing, or enjoying the beautiful waterways and beaches. It was here that she welcomed her greatest joy, her daughter Hailey. Tina spent the majority of her career working for the local marine store, Auer Marine, where many people grew to know and love her. She also spent many weekends directing bass fishing tournaments.

Tina was known for her kindness. She was always willing to do for others, despite her own challenges. Tina spent many hours volunteering with her daughter’s band activities or simply helping when a friend was in need, she was someone people could always count on. She was fun-loving and always had a positive attitude, no matter the circumstances.

Tina is survived by her daughter, Hailey (Cameron) Pifer; grandson, Truett; siblings, Ted Williams and Tammy Gamble; nieces and nephews, Rip Williams, Emily Hamric, Courtney Gamble, and Candace Gamble; along with many great nieces and nephews.
