Tina graduated from Bradford High School and from Phillipsburg State General Hospital

Bible studies, preparing meals for those in need, serving on the hospitality committee,
and participating in mission trips to a Guatemalan orphanage, were just a few of her
many contributions.

She enjoyed painting, flower arranging, gardening, decorating, and creating a warm and
welcoming home, but she will be most remembered for her fun personality and
infectious laugh. She was loved by everyone who knew her, especially her King
Charles Spaniel, Buddy, who was her ever faithful companion.

Tina was pure joy to be around and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
