Stevana Palombo Bouldin

Stevana Bouldin, age 35, passed away on Thursday, October 15 surrounded by her family. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.

Stevana was born and raised in McMinnville, TN and graduated from Warren County High School. She attended the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and earned a degree in mass communications in 2014. Stevana began working at Ben Lomand Connect after graduation and was a dedicated employee from that time on. She took pride in her job and worked her way to a role as sales supervisor. Stevana developed many wonderful relationships at Ben Lomand and was always appreciative of the love and support they showed her.

She enjoyed being a part of her community through her work with Ben Lomand and her involvement with McMinnville Young Professionals Group. Stevana was passionate about the McMinnville Children’s Museum. She was a founding member of the museum board, raising awareness and support to help open a place for the families of McMinnville.

Stevana was a member of Rock Island Church of Christ. She enjoyed attending church services and worshipping with her family. She had a deep, steadfast faith in the Lord that carried her through difficult times. She had the heart of a servant and enjoyed doing kind things for others. Stevana was a wonderful cook and used this gift to bless others.

She was a loyal friend, taking time to pour into her relationships and check on those she loved. Her friends will remember the way she embraced life with humor, created fun, brought laughter, and turned moments into memories.

Stevana was the thread that held together the fabric of the family, organizing get-togethers, preparing food, sharing insight and advice, and offering comfort. She never missed a birthday or big event, always showering her loved ones with attention and making them feel important, especially her nieces and nephews. Stevana was anxiously awaiting the arrival of her newest nephew, providing a great deal of care and support to Shani, preparing her for motherhood. As a daughter and sister, she was a true blessing. But her role as wife and mother was the pride of her life. Fully devoting herself to Justin and Lucy, she was a steadfast source of love and security.

Although Stevana’s time on Earth was far too short, the love and memories created will never fade. She will forever hold a special place in the hearts of her husband, daughter, family, and friends. Her kindness, love, and devotion will live on through those with whom she so generously shared them.
