Hollie Jo Hinkie

Hollie Jo Hinkie, age 69 of Haughton, Louisiana, passed away after a hard-fought battle on Friday, November 21, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of light, kindness, and unwavering positivity. Hollie had a remarkable ability to brighten every room she entered, greeting others with her gentle smile and warm spirit. She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend whose love and encouragement were felt by all who knew her.

For 14 wonderful years, Hollie was married to the love of her life, Thomas Hinkie. Together, they shared many adventures, especially their time spent riding their Harley and traveling. Of all the places they visited, Hot Springs, Arkansas held her heart, and in honor of her wishes, her cremated remains will be scattered into the waters of Lake Hamilton.

Hollie dedicated more than 29 years to Bayou State Oil, where her coworkers became her second family. Their support, care, and camaraderie meant the world to her.

A woman of faith, Hollie was a committed member of First Baptist Church of Haughton for the past 10 years, joyfully singing in the choir. Her love for music and ministry began early; as a teenager, she was part of the group “All God’s Children,” a foundation that shaped her lifelong devotion to serving others.

Hollie is preceded in death by her parents; Scooter and Nancy Roach, her husband; Thomas J Hinkie Jr. and her son; Jeffrey Jerner.

Left to cherish her memory; son; Kyle Jerner, son; Ryan Jerner and wife Meraflor; her four beloved grandchildren; Keira, Liam, Logan and Leah, sister; Julia Ball, sister; Angelia Fletcher and husband Melvin, brother; Gene Roach and wife Mary, as well as many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Bristol Hospice, especially Nurse Shari, Aides Felicia and Miranda, Social Worker Chasity and Chaplain Randy, for their compassionate care.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Hollie’s name to First Baptist Church of Haughton.

Hollie’s gentle heart, positive outlook, and deep love for her family and friends will be forever cherished. May her beautiful spirit continue to shine in the lives of all who loved her.
