Tina Marie Conlan Drouin

Tina will be missed by her family and friends and many others accustomed to seeing her smiling face in and around Quincy and Norwood. Tina travelled to the beat of her own drum. She enjoyed life to the fullest not letting traditional boundaries and mores hold her back from living the life that she wanted. Though her passing was sudden and much too soon, her life provided the most important lessons. Live life. Be what you want. Keep trying. Embrace each moment. She did everything within her power to overcome obstacles as though they were invisible. She loved her family. She loved being a mom and was so proud to see her son become a father. She loved her friends and her community. Special thanks to her friends at the PACT team in Quincy MA. who have supported her in countless ways. Their presence in her life has afforded her the ability to travel to her own special beat for the last several years. Although she will be missed by all, she would not weep. In fact when she passed, we are sure that she laughed all the way into her mother’s arms. Funeral services will be private. However, her family invites you to a memorial mass for her at 5:15 pm on January 30th, 2015 at St. Catherine’s in Norwood.
