My sister Tina we were brother and sister from day one…the name Davis made us family. We stared out with such big dreams as we imagined our futures. You lived a life of purpose and fulfillment..Joy and and great accomplishments. Now you’ve transitioned and it’s time to rest. I’m sure your journey hasn’t ended because love never dies and you surrounded us with such love and spirit. You will be missed but never forgotten. God has you now, but we will meet again someday in another lifetime. Love to your family and children ❤ 💕
Your brother forever…
Leonard

To the family, it has taken a minute for me to compose myself to write this note. I have known Teena literally all of my life. You could say we were sandbox friends – going to the store (Tom’s or Peoples for candy. Let’s not forget the Pepsi’s – when she got down to two sodas left, she had to get another. 6-pack! (LOL) She taught me how to hand dance, play cards, tutored me in Algebra, and so much more. I will cherish and miss all of the birthday wishes she would send to me and my girls ( now 45 and 36) each year. Each one was special. While I hadn’t talked to her in a while, each conversation was like we picked up where we left off. You just had to be prepared to be on the phone for at least an hour (LOL). Praying peace and comfort for the family and to hold tight to fond memories. Much love.
My deepest condolences to the family. Mama Teena, may you rest in eternal peace. You earned your wings 🪽 . I can imagine your big smile as Big AL greeted you at the pearly gates of heaven. We will miss you 🙏❤️🕊
Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to the Lipscomb and Johnakin family. Teena had the most contagious laugh I enjoyed to hear along with a warm smile. Rest in peace, cousin.
My condolences and prayers to Brother Ejay Lipscomb and the entire family. May the memories you all hold in your hearts bring comfort and peace during this time.
May the Lord hold and keep you now and forever more.
Sincerely,
Sister Sonia T. Moss
To my family, I want to express my deepest love and prayers of comfort as Big Sis Teena has transitioned, leaving a void for all my nephews, nieces, and grand nephews and nieces. May God guide you and help you journey through this next season finding new rhythms. Love you always! Aunt Nancy Lipscomb Young
My Big Sis Teena, I’m so grateful to have reconnected with you some years back. Thank you for your beautiful messages on birthdays and special occasions. I will cherish those always. Thank you for being an amazing mom to my niece and nephews Kevin, Keesha, Ejaye and Brian (my Big Brother Jimmy Jr’s children). Also to their children a blessed GrandMom and Great GrandMom. Prayers and hugs to my family and all who knew and loved you. I’m sad. I love you and will miss you…….Little Sis
My deepest sympathy to the Lipscomb and Johnakin Family. My name is Veronica Peterson, the mother of Janice, Nancy and Mary Lipscomb. Tina came to Calif to stay with me for a brief stay when she was about 18 and me 22. When she moved, we hadn’t spoken for years. About 20 years ago we reconnected and remained best buds ever since. I’m crushed and heart broken of her passing. May God comfort and strengthen us all. I loved Tina and will greatly miss her.
Sending love and prayers of comfort to the Teena’s family We didn’t talk often but when we did it was like old times. Teena my bestie for many years, you will be truly missed
My sincere prayers and condolences to the family. Praying for your strength.
To my nephews and niece and my sister and brother, my heart felt symphony goes out remembering when……I don’t have the words or can’t compose them to say the friendship we shared for a lifetime. The memories are too long from childhood to write about. To my friend and compadre rest in peace and job well done. See you soon, love you much…….. David
To the family, I have such wonderful memories of growing up with the Davis family as their neighbor. Teena was bright, funny, full of laughter, good humor and was a joy to know. She was a lovely person and we kept in touch through the years. In recent years, we would share prayers and favorite Scriptures on an almost daily basis. She was a person of strong faith. May her family know we are holding them up in prayer. May her sweet soul Rest In Peace.
Praying for you and your family Brother Lipscomb
May God gives you all the comfort you need to endure

My most deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and your family members on your loss! Tina was one of my first adult DC friends! We lived next door to each other on Longfellow St. and were new moms trying to learn the ends and outs of being a parent! Although our paths deviated the internet allowed us to maintain contact. I will forever remember my friend and I rejoice in knowing she is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
My heart goes out to you and your family. May God heal you guys pain.

Sending my love and condolences to everyone. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t have met my Auntie but I’m so blessed to have the time I did have with her via phone calls and social media. She used to make me laugh and smile and that’s definitely how I will remember her.
Sending my Deepest Sympathy to Tina Family. I knew something was wrong when I did not get a response from my texts. We worked together for many years at Department Of Social Services. Tina was a wonderful, smart, and cheerful person. Always willing to help others in any situation. I’m going to missed you, but you had a Higher Calling may you Rest In Peace.
Our deepest sympathy to the Lipscomb and Johnakin family. We of the Pearson family were absolutely shocked to learn of the passing of our beloved Tina. Tina and Al were the best neighbors ever. We enjoyed each other, we attended the same church for many years. We moved to different sections of Columbia and we did not keep in touch as much. I would see her in publix and it was like we were still living next door again. Joe and I are truly sadden.
