Tina loved spending time with her three children: Mackenzie, Vanessa, and Nathan. They were the light of her life, and she loved them more than anything. She enjoyed doing arts and crafts, going on bike rides and to the beach, and playing on the playground with her kids. She enjoyed coloring to wind down and relax. She loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. Tina was an avid collector of all things Little Mermaid; it was her absolute favorite. She loved to laugh and make those around her laugh too. Tina will be deeply missed by all those fortunate enough to have known her.
