Tina McMellon

Tina McMellon, age 62, of Board Camp, Arkansas passed away Thursday, February 27, 2025 at the CHI St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas. She was born on Monday, July 9, 1962 to Dewey Gerald and Mary May Medford Head in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Tina was a kind and considerate soul, always polite and thoughtful toward everyone she met. Her love for all things western was evident in her passion for rodeos, horses, and western fashion. She traveled extensively, dedicating her time to timekeeping and scoring at rodeos, where she found joy in handing out coloring books to children. Highly opinionated and always looking her best, Tina had a deep appreciation for leather and cowhide, proudly carrying her cowhide purse. She loved expressing her creativity through painting, coloring, and home design. Tina also had the most beautiful handwriting, resembling the finest calligraphy. In her younger years, she cherished trail riding and riding her horses in parades. She had a heart full of love and generosity, known for literally giving the coat off her back to someone in need. Above all, her greatest joy in life was her son, Cole, who was truly the light of her world.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Dewey Gerald Head and Mary May Medford Head.

Tina is survived by one son, Cole McMellon of Board Camp; her cousin and friend, Beatrice Watkins of Mena; many cousins and a host of other relatives and friends.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, March 3, 2025 at 4:00 PM at the Bowser Family Funeral Home Chapel in Mena with Brother Don Jones officiating. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Bowser Family Funeral Home in Mena, Arkansas.
