Clementina Petrella "Tina" Rowland

Clementina Rowland’s, age 87, wonderful journey ended with her quiet passing surrounded with friends and family. Tina, a long-term resident of Pensacola, Florida, was a loving and devoted wife, mother, Nana, great- grandmother, and a friend to everyone she met.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband of 66 years, Howard Rowland; her father and mother, Dominick and Permetta Petrella; her brothers, Carlo and Virgil Petrella; her sister, Rosie Petrella; and her granddaughter, Alison Rowland. She is survived by her son, Don Rowland of Montgomery, AL; daughter and son-in-law, Christine and Jesse McArthur of Pace, Florida; granddaughters, Amanda Cobb, her husband Michael, Jessica Byrd and her husband Stanley; and two great-grandchildren. Her sister and brother-in-law, Nina and Al Swagart; sister and brother-in-law, Mary Jean and Jim Kehoe; sister-in-law, Ann Moore; along with other family and friends survive Tina.

Tina loved to cook authentic, Italian food surrounded by the ones she loved. Her cooking skills with the Italian Sunday dinners will always be remembered. She was a devoted member of Tops, bunko, and her senior club. She loved going to the fair, pizza parties, and all holidays. She was an animal lover and kept her cat, Buck, close to her heart. Tina always wanted to be with family and friends enjoying their company and making life-long memories. She is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her.

We want to say a special thank you to the Joyce Goldenberg Residence, Covenant Hospice, and Bayside Manor for giving our loved one the comfort and dignity that she deserved.
