Tilly-Anna Rose Roark

September 22, 2026 - September 22, 2026

Sweet Tilly-Anna Rose Roark, beloved daughter of Austin and Sara Roark, was born on September 22, 2026, at the University of Kentucky Hospital. Tilly-Anna weighed 6 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 15½ inches long.

Though her time here was heartbreakingly brief, Tilly-Anna knew nothing but love. From the moment her family learned of her, she was treasured, prayed for, talked about, and loved beyond measure. She touched more hearts in her short life than could ever be counted.
Tilly-Anna was surrounded by the love of her mommy and daddy and a family who had anxiously waited to meet their beautiful little girl. Every moment they were given with her became a precious gift - moments that will be carried in their hearts for a lifetime.

In addition to her parents, Austin and Sara Roark, Tilly-Anna leaves to cherish her memory her grandparents, Rosie and Homer Cox and Ronald Roark; her siblings, Alieah Miracle, Weston Jones, and Autry Jones; and her aunts and uncles, Jennifer and Jason Lowe, Daniel and Ashley Roark, and Jennifer and Sonny Caldwell.

She also leaves her special cousins, Levi Lowe, Braiden Lowe, Olivia Roark, Jasper Caldwell, and Jaylen Caldwell; her special great-aunt, Sharon Allen; and special family members, Angie Vanover, Amy Kane, and Stephanie Justice, along with many other relatives and friends who loved her dearly.

Tilly-Anna was preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Noble and Bernita Brock and Sam and Maggie Roark; her great-aunts, Laura Brock Caldwell and Karen Mink; her great-uncle, R. Lee Brock; and her cousin, Jasmine Caldwell.

Funeral services for Tilly-Anna Rose Roark will be held at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at Ferndale Trinity Full Gospel Church with Pastor Jeff Kersey officiating.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 6:00 PM until the funeral hour at the Ferndale Trinity Full Gospel Church.

Arnett & Steele Funeral Home is honored to serve the Roark family.

Tilly-Anna may have only been held in our arms for a little while, but she will be held in our hearts forever. Her life cannot be measured by the number of hours she was here, but by the immeasurable love that surrounded her.

She will forever be Austin and Sara's little girl - a cherished daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, and a beautiful part of a family who will speak her name and carry her memory with them always.

Our sweet Tilly-Anna was loved before we ever saw her face, loved through every moment she was here, and she will be loved for all the days to come.
