Tina’s academic and professional achievements reflected her passion for continual learning and servant leadership.

Her presence was a gift—gentle, wise, and full of grace. Tina’s legacy is one of love, faith, and unwavering kindness. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
