She married Cory Thompson in 1994. From this union, a son Cody was born. Later she gave birth to a son Cameron with Darin Wald with whom some of her happiest years were spent. They spent numerous weekends camping and fishing which she enjoyed very much. She always had a favorite saying "the big fish bite early" and couldn't wait to get everyone out the door in the morning on the way to the lake. They also made snowmobiling trips to the mountains as well as vacationing in Florida and California. Tina was a very generous and kind hearted person who loved to laugh and was always quick with a joke. She kept her spirits high as she tried to live with Crohn's Disease and she always put others first, especially her two sons. She worked at various jobs over the years including Med Center One and Aetna. In recent years, Tina had become more in touch with her faith. She enjoyed reading from the good book, attending mass and volunteering her time at the church. She will be missed dearly by her friends and family.
