Tiana Lynee Hill

I miss her…..

I loved Tiana as a daughter ❤️ I had the pleasure of being her boss at The University of Chicago and she was a fast learner, always one of my top producers, always willing to learn, Always willing to help others. Everyone loved her. She is TRULY MISSED.
With Love, Sharon Boyd ❤️

My baby Sister, every time you came around you inspired me with your energy, We dressed similarly alike, I loved your fashion, you loved mines, You became family at the young age of 20 something, You, Lil Mook, and Kenyatta……Your pretty smile, your chuckling laughter, the way you lit up the empty space when you walked into any room it was all smiles. I will miss our impromptu conversations, you telling me that I inspired you and always been on my shit since i was young, you saw me go through college, graduate, then go back again, open my businesses, Although we didn’t talk every single day, you stayed in my life and checked on me as I checked on you from time to time. You were the little sister that I never had and always thought would be here to call whenever the thought crossed my mind. I love you babe, Forever, but God loved you more than this life. I know you are happy, God smiled when you walked through the gates because your past never defied you and you left here as a Strong Warrior with no crumbs left. Love you lil Sis forever in a day, Don’t forget to visit me often.

I had a pleasure of working with Tbday in Hyde park for several years. I was hee shift supervisor and she use to always say “watch how you handle me I got two jobs” lollllllll real hustling lil BIP (her voice) I love you girllll

Wow. To walk into Starbucks today. So eager to see my girl as usual. Only to see a memorial was unreal. She would always see me walk in and come from behind the counter just to hug me. In the mornings when I walked in I would just walk over to the pick up counter to say "Hey sis" Because she would be enthralled with the window orders, but she would always turn and hurriedly say "Hey bro, Love you".
She was an enigma to say the least. The most loving person you could ever meet and simultaneously the most gangster. I will really miss her. Her energy was unmatched. Her mouth was unfiltered and her spirit and presence was unapologetic. I love you Taina !. May you rest in peace until we meet again.

When Tiana came to Arkansas, I was about 9 years old. I remember the thinking, “man, she is something!” So lively, funny, and outgoing. She “kept it 100” before it was a saying. She was a protector, motivator, and all around good person. None of us are perfect but she was perfectly who she was. I’m really going to miss her and I hate not to hear “ hey lil cousin.“ I love you and I’m so blessed I got the chance to know you 🤞🏽🫶🏽

Working with Tiana was truly one of the best parts of coming to work. She had such a fun, vibrant personality and could make anyone laugh, no matter what kind of day they were having. She brought so much life and positivity wherever she went, and being around her always made work feel a little easier. I’ll always be grateful for the time I got to work alongside her. She’ll be deeply missed, but I’ll never forget the joy and light she brought to so many people.

My first time meeting Tiana the whole 079 was outside celebrating one of the guys birthday, she was the sweetest person . Her smile would light up a room. Until we meet again. Take your rest

I use to sit in Starbucks every morning waiting for my carpool. You were so sweet and nice to me while running that store. We talked about everything as if we’d been knowing each other for years. You told me that you were moving to another store and to make sure I come to visit you there. I didn’t get around to it and lord knows I wish I had made it to get one last talk/visit with you. Such a beautiful person inside and out. I still have my Christmas glasses you gave me from Starbucks. Rest peacefully my girl.

From the very first moment I met you, I knew I was going to love you. You had such a kind heart, an honest spirit, and a smile that could light up any room. No matter what life brought our way, nor the distance your love for me never changed. You welcomed me with open arms, and every chance you got, you showered my baby with love too.
You always introduced me as, “My baby boy’s first heartbreak, but my daughter.” And every time we talked, you never forgot to ask, “Have you called and checked on my baby boy?” I promise I’ll continue to do just that.
I’ll miss seeing you every morning at Starbucks, hearing your voice, and listening to you say, “Why is she still here waiting? Why isn’t her drink ready?”
Thank you for loving me as your own. Your laughter, and unconditional love have left an imprint on my heart that will never fade. You will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
Rest peacefully, Ma. Watch over your baby boy, and know that you will always be in our hearts.
With all my love, forever and always,
Lex, your forever daughter-in-law NMW 💕

Tianna use to come in my job at the currency exchange on 35th . This first time I met her my coworker was giving her a issue cashing her check and something made me call her over there or she came back later or something to that affect and I cashed her chancel and we was locked in since .. Ran into her at Jimmy’s on 51st and Cottage and just around at different places of work ..always kind real and like a sister …This really opened my eyes to so much and il always remember you you left a day before my birthday and that hurt me .. but get your rest my girl .

Sister I'm going to miss you so much we was together almost every weekend I'm going to miss our long night's you telling everyone I'm the big Sister 💔 who going to celebrate Kenyatta day with me now you were so sweet and full of life this wasn't the plan 😢💔🕊

I met T when I was barely 22, and a new hire at Starbucks on Lake & State. She was the Assistant Manager at the time, and was assigned to train me on the register. One morning during rush hour, I kept making mistakes on the register because I was swiping the buttons like a text vs just tapping the customers selection. She looked me dead in my eyes and said, “Ja wtf is all this swiping shit… press that shit and move on. You bringing me down to the floorboards.” Lol literally been my dawg from that day on. There’s so many other memories I could share…. Sister, I love and miss you so much! I can’t believe we’re here, but your memory will live on through all of us! Forever and After 🤞🏽

Tiana was my Starbucks Baby. She knew me by my voice always knew my drink. She was so sw÷t and kind always. I really am heartbroken behind this. Love you always Tiana ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🕊🕊🕊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🙌🙌🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐

The way she always said my name I can hear her right now…“What’s up Jay Arrah”. Cuz always spoke her mind and was super loyal.

Oh wow, where do I start? met Tea working at Starbucks as shifts supervisor on 87th, then We both worked together on western, strong personality but once I got to know her through the years of working together, she grew on me. Always very supportive, she loved my kids, we were like one big Starbucks family, she was just the life of the party, baby you couldn’t tell her she didn’t know fashion, she definitely was a dresser. Always told me I don’t wear nothing twice!!! Ok! Tea you got it!!! lol! Last pic I have of her at my 40th almost 3 years ago, I was dancing so hard I got winded and backed into my wall, she holding me up on the wall all in my face asking me is you cool? I’m like “Tiana I’m not drunk”, she “yes you is”.but I wasn’t lol. We had a great time that day, she wanted pics with everyone there, As shifts we would talked daily on our way to work 4 am in the morning . When I left for a new career she was there to take me out to celebrate my new beginnings, I will definitely miss her crazy tail self. She definitely was a hardworker and a Go Getter! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

I used to frequent her store when my son was going to high school over in South Shore and she was always super pleasant with a wonderful smile. She was very protective of her customers, and she was always kind to everybody. my condolences to her family and her Starbucks family

Thanksgiving 2025

Dear Big cousin,
It seem like just yesterday I was talking to you in front of your new apartment. You were just smiling and looked so full of joy and that made me feel so happy to see you happy. You told me that you were going to run some errands to finish getting set up and that you will be right back then you weren't. I will always remember your affectionate smile and your bubbly energy you always made sure your lil cousins was on point when we were around you. you will say, "you cute lil cousin but fixed that collar " or you look fye lil cousin but next time dye your eye brows red too" I'm going to miss you so much please hug my mom for me and tell her I miss her. Today is a celebration because your now at peace so I'm not sad or worried because I know you were one of Gods calling so goodbye for now but not forever.
Love, Pooh Diddy (in your voice)
