Tina spent her childhood raising and showing farm animals at County Fairs all over New England. She found her Niche in the Dairy Goat arena with her LeMancha Goats, earning several awards and ribbons, including several “Best in Show” awards from the American Dairy Goat association.

Tina held several positions over the years but found her calling as a Pharmacy Tech. Working at the Stop&Shop Pharmacy in Colchester. She came to regard her co-workers and patients as family and truly loved being able to help any way he could.

Tina’s passion for life was apparent to all who met her. With her quick smile, easy going manner and genuine friendliness, Tina made fast friends and good acquaintances every where she went. To Tina, no one was a stranger. She loved the smell and sound of the Ocean and traveling, to do and see new things. It didn’t matter if it was 5 or 5000 miles, if it looked like fun, “let’s go!”.

Her light will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
