She lived by this

My demons tried to drown me but they didn't know I could breath under water!

Gone From My Sight

Tia is standing upon the seashore. A ship, at her side, she spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and of strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to meet with each other. Then I hear someone at my side say "There, she is gone." Gone where I thought to myself. Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left our side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in us-- not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes through our pearly gates! She went from life to death and then life again!

Obituary

Tiara "Tia" Renea Gambrel 43, of Lehigh Acres, FL, passed away on October 18, 2024. Born on August 28, 1981, Tiara dedicated her career to helping others as a valued employee at Blue Cross and Blue Shield in health insurance sales. She was known for her passion for bringing awareness to the prevention of drowning victims and constantly striving to make a difference in every life she encountered. Tia often offered wisdom and guidance drawn from her own personal experiences.

She spent much of her free time at the beach with her family, doing crafting with her daughter, dancing, and enjoying every moment she had. She was an active member of New Life Assembly, where she found a community of faith and friendship.

Tiara is survived by her mother Lori and Alvis Wiggins of Florida and her father Robin and Ida Gambrel of Texas. Her sister Hope Wiggins, her brother Cody Wiggins and siblings Tristine Baker and Caitlin Wiggins also reside in Florida. On her father Robin's side she is survived by siblings Ryan, Theron, and Cassandra who reside in Texas. She also is survived by her maternal grandmother Carol Anderson. We are sure that all who have passed before her will be meeting her at heavens gates. Tia in life was also surrounded by many nieces and nephews who loved and adored her. At this time the family thanks everyone for their prayers, their words of encouragement, and their donations to Tia's Go Fund Me account. The family asks that you continue to share the fundraiser and in lew of flowers please make a donation if you are able. Charitable contributions in her memory will be announced at a later time, honoring her legacy of service and care.
