Tunuia Mimi Sparks

June 1, 1965 - January 14, 2020

Tunuia Mimi Sparks was born to Jeannie and Charlie Sanders on June 1, 1965 in Nashville, TN. Her brother, Timothy Bryon Sanders, says she was the prettiest little baby he had ever seen. She grew up in the country life there until she moved to Florida in 1983. Ms. Sparks went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 14, 2020. Throughout her life, most of her work was in the field of hospitality. She was a Christian and her love for the Lord carried her through her life. Her faith never waivered. Miss Tunuia loved to cook and feed people her good home cooking and the cakes she baked. She had a beautiful and open heart to everyone who was in need, and always did whatever she could to help them. The only thing she enjoyed more than cooking was spending time with her family. Miss Sparks had a knack for bringing her humor into every situation, especially when moods needed lifting. Miss Sparks is going to be greatly missed by her life partner Ernest Colding, her loving son Michael Sanders, her loving and devoted daughter Teania Butler, daughter LaTasha Sanders, and grandson Quran Hicks; and her devoted big brother Timothy Bryon Sanders and his wife Sheilah Sanders. She was preceded in death by her wonderful parents, Jeannie and Charlie Sanders. A Celebration of Life is being planned for some time in May or June of this year. Once the date, time and place are determined, we will update our website to make certain nobody misses what is sure to be a joyous occasion remembering Miss Tunuia and the life she lived touching all of those that came into contact with her. The family is being assisted by James Sircy and cared for by Jackie Fulford.
