TAMPA, Fla. — With deep sorrow and love, the family of Kaitlin Tyne Miles has announced her passing on Friday, September 5, 2025, in Tampa, Florida. She was 33.
Born on August 23, 1992, in Union Town, Pennsylvania, Kaitlin was the cherished daughter of Mark Alan Miles and Marta J. McCombs. She spent her childhood in Frederick Town, PA, where she built strong friendships and developed the warmth and determination that defined her life.
A 2010 graduate of Harmony High School, Kaitlin was remembered by classmates and teachers as a bright and compassionate student who blended determination with generosity.

Kaitlin eventually made Tampa her home, beginning a career with Hilton Hotels. Through dedication and hard work, she rose to management roles, earning the admiration of colleagues for her professionalism, leadership, and ability to connect with people.

She treasured time with her parents, sisters, grandmother, extended family, and her loyal dog, Zoe, who accompanied her everywhere — from beach walks to hiking trips and overseas adventures. Her love for the outdoors and travel reflected her vibrant spirit and appreciation for life’s simple joys.
Kaitlin is survived by her father, Mark Alan Miles of Winfield; her mother, Marta McCombs (Tom Amodeo) of Frederick Town, PA; sisters, Kenzie Craig of North Carolina and Kailee Craig of Oklahoma; and her grandmother, Joann McCluskey (Joe Kirk) of Winfield.
