Her memory will be cherished by longtime friends Melissa, Myron along with other family and

close friends.

Tina was preceded in death by her Stepfather, Mother-in-law Peggy, and her brother-in-law

Steve.

She enjoyed watching South Park for its combination of satire, music, and comedy. Being able to

escape into a cartoon world that told her to live her life the way she wanted and how that life

works for her. It reminded her that the spirit of love, no matter how great or small and loving her

own way was the best way to live.

Tina would find peace and calm her mind while going to the pond to feed the ducks or going

camping. For Tina, there was something magical about spending the time outdoors listening to

the sounds of nature and being with her family. She could relax, recharge and the fresh air

invigorated her spirit. She loved cooking and spending time in the kitchen while listening to her

favorite band Queen. All these things helped Tina focus on the positive and not the limitations of

her physical disability.

Tina and Brian met and were married August 15 th , 1998. They supported family together,

vacationed together and worked hard to be a team. Their relationship would at times be

challenged and tested them, no matter what the hurdle, the root of that relationship was love.

Tina and Brittany had a strong mother daughter relationship. They would enjoy watching movies

together, going shopping, relaxing in a hot tub, or swimming. The two of them shared laughter

and fun while trying those “crazy” flavored jellybeans. Their relationship was so special to both.

A funeral service for Tina will be held this Saturday April 22, 2023, from Noon-2pm at

Witkowiak Funeral Home 529 W. Historic Mitchell Street Milwaukee WI 53204. In lieu of

flowers the family is asking for donations to help with unexpected financial burden due to

Tina’s unexpected death.
