Tina Marie Langtry

Tina Marie Langtry passed away Thursday, October 12, at home in Katy, Texas. She was 66. Born July 23, 1957. Tina was the fifth child of Walter K. and Iva M. Langtry who predeceased her along with her brothers, Paul W. and Thomas W. Langtry. Tina is survived by three sisters, Faye Felt (Richard) Rural Hall, NC, Donna Lavarnway (Philip) Alexandria Bay, NY and Patricia Storie (David) Hammond, NY and a sister-in-law Carolyn Langtry, along with 11 nieces and nephews, 17 great nieces and nephews, 3 great great nieces and nephews, and many cousins.

Tina graduated from Hammond Central School in 1975, St. Lawrence University (1979) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology, and the University of North Dakota (1982) where she completed her Master’s Degree in Geology. Tina began her career with Conoco Inc., Houston TX in September 1982. Throughout her employment, Tina held many titles: Geologist; Geologic Advisor for International Exploration Production; Vice President and General Manager of Exploration Conoco Norway; LA Exploration Manager Gulf Region Lafayette LA; General Manager Conoco Energy Ventures, Exploration and Reservoir; President and Managing Director of Conoco Norway; Manager of Discovered Resource Opportunity Evaluations, Global Exploration New Ventures/Business Development.

Following her retirement from ConocoPhillips in 2008, Tina joined the Board of Directors of Geospace Technologies in 2012 where she served until her death. In 2013, Tina with her brother Tom became owners of Langbrook Meadows Golf Course and Country Club in Brier Hill, NY. Then in 2014 she purchased Langtry Farms, an operating dairy farm in Hammond, NY.

Throughout her life, Tina was adventurous, always willing to tackle new experiences. Growing up on a dairy farm it was not unusual to see her milking cows, baling hay or driving a team of draft horses. She was on the first girls high school soccer team, played in a summer softball league during her college years and later enjoyed bowling with friends, fishing in the Gulf, stopping in to nearby casinos, cheering on the Astros and NASCAR races. Tina’s employment with Conoco took her around the world and she continued to enjoy travelling in retirement. In quieter moments, Tina used sewing skills learned as a child to complete quilts, needlepoint, and other crafts that became gifts for family and friends. She was very generous in her gift giving.

A Celebration of Life reception will be held Sunday, October 22 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Clays Restaurant, 17717 Clay Road, Houston, Texas.

A burial service and reception will be held at a later time in Hammond, NY.
