A Celebration of life at the family residence following.

Tina was born and raised in Chicago, IL. Her parents Umberto and Marina Pacini migrated from Italy prior to having her one sibling, an older sister Nila Pacini Sendzick.

Her first job out of high school was at 5th Army where she worked until married to William Frediani. They started their journey raising kids and relocating several times though his employer, IBM. Starting in Madison, Wisconsin, where her two sons: William(Billy), Anthony(Tony) were born. Then to Poughkeepsie, New York, where her daughter Denise was born. From there to Prospect Heights IL, before settling in San Jose CA in 1969.

Where ever our parents traveled, they always had an abundance of riches in the friends they kept. All of whom were considered family. Probably our biggest reward was the household of the best guests/family/friends that could ever be assembled at every location.

Mom always did the cooking. Preparing enough for an army was her trademark. Her buzzing around making sure nobody left hungry always spooning more when you were not looking. We would all laugh when a rookie had their first meal. Surrendering their plate in her hands was costly, she could easily fit three portions of everything on one plate.

She was a bundle of energy who never sat still. Cleaning and cooking during our early years, but got into Real Estate in the early 70’s and never looked back. She ventured into her own company, and even recruited both Williams into the business.

She enjoyed getting involved in all her kid’s activities, and was there at every turn for her grandchildren. Pulling slots in Tahoe while Bill played the tables was their favorite retirement get away, at their place in Incline Village.

She is greatly missed already, but she rubbed off on all of her children and grandchildren. We carry her with us and can’t help but smile every time we think about her.
