So sorry to hear Tina died. I always enjoyed seeing her at Manning’s. I also knew her as Charles mother when our kids were in school. More recently my husband and I shopped at Kroger and always enjoyed her helping us and talking to her. She would open up a lane for us. We would talk about our children and grandchildren. She really loved her family! I even saw her husband there a couple of times. I have missed. seeing her at Kroger. The last time I ran into her she was only working for Hospice. She liked all of her jobs. She was was a wonderful lady and seemed to love life. I am very sorry for your loss.

Tina was easy to love. She loved life and it was contagious!! Will miss her deeply but blessed to have known her.

Henry and Jo Ann Hansen

Tina was never one to be subtle. She had a ferocity about her that took a little gettin' used to. But it was that gusto that left an impression on people, and the lucky few she allowed into her world will miss her all the more for her being the way she was. She was the ultimate "Momma Bear" - fearless and protective, but with a heart as big as the sky. You can count Jo Ann and I among those who will miss her big personality, her friendship, her companionship, and her cherry pie. Okay, maybe it's mostly me that'll miss her cherry pie.. But that's only because not many others have had it! We'll hear her laugh echoing in our hearts, and see her in the faces of those who loved her the most forever. Much love to Adam and all those she touched. God's peace to us all..
