Robina Rita Gatlin Baynham was born on December 20th, 1967. She was preceded in death by her mother Martha Lee Gatlin and her father Chester Gatlin Sr, as well as by her son Lil Steven Gatlin, brothers Daniel Gatlin, Timothy Gatlin, and Christopher Gatlin.
She was educated through Metro Nashville Public Schools where she attended and graduated from Pearl Cohn High School in 1988. She then attended Draughons Junior College and graduated in 2004 with her Medical Assisting license.
Rita was a kind and outgoing person. She loved making people laugh and making your day shine. She loved her family so much in so many ways. She did TikToks with her grandkids and was always with her daughter going everywhere. Her daughter and grandkids always kept her going and trying new things. She loved her amazing husband of 44 years. They grew up together in the bottom.
She leaves to cherish very special memories with her husband Steven Baynham, her daughter Celeste (Eddie) Gatlin, her siblings Ann, Helen, Barbara, Chester (April) Jr, Elnora (Ronnie), her aunt Mildred Harris, her grandchildren Passion Gatlin, Eddie House III (EJ), Faith Gatlin, and a host of relatives and friends.
