Tina Renee Morales

It is with great sadness we announce our beautiful mother, wife, daughter, grandmother, sister, aunt & friend, Tina Morales was called to be with her Lord & Savior on February 19, 2011, surrounded by her family & friends.

Tina was very fashionable and loved her make-up and perfume. She was always dressed for every occasion without a hair out of place. Once you got to know Tina, you realized her inner beauty was just as beautiful as her outer beauty. Tina enjoyed watching the cooking channel, animal planet and her favorite, The Golden Girls. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, but her greatest pleasure was spending time with her kids and grandkids, who always put a sparkle in her eye.

She was also a very loving and caring person. Her family will never forget her strength and courage. She put her family first, she didn’t want them to worry. Not a day will go by when Tina is not missed.
