Rest easy, my friend. You will be greatly missed. Prayers for Rusty and the rest of the family. 🙏💕
Dan and I met Tina and Rusty when Kyle and Courtney were in college and then they became family. Tina would light up any room she was in. We will miss her immensely. Wonder women, daughter, wife, mother, mother in law, and grandmother , known as T. Rest in Peace🙏
She had a great sense of humor and that is sorely missing in today’s world.
I wish I had another 15 years to work with her can call to complaint about bad UK losses-
Prayers to her family.

Whenever I think of DHS Class of 1980, Tina is one of the first people who comes to mind. What a legacy she left in our community and hearts.
Rusty and family, may Jesus hold and keep you during this difficult time. Thankful for our blessed hope.

Tina had a unique way of making people feel good about themselves. A true gift. A hilarious storyteller. She is leaving quite a legacy. Still can’t get my head around it. Prayers for Rusty, Charlie, Courtney and their families.
