• surrounded by extended family and lifelong friendships.
•

• She earned numerous performance awards throughout her career and traveled
• internationally to train with some of the top professionals in the industry.
• 
  
• In 1997, Tina met the love of her life, Stan Witcher, at a local gym. After a playful beginning,

• that would change both of their lives. Their relationship quickly blossomed into a deep and
• lasting love, and they were married on August 27, 2001. Together, they blended their
• families and built a life centered on love, devotion, and connection.
• 
  
• Tina had a deep love for people, and one of her greatest joys was bringing others together.
• She loved opening her home to family and friends—whether for holidays, birthday
• celebrations, or simply to cook a meal and spend time with those she cared about. Her home
• was a place of warmth, connection, and laughter.
• 
  
• She had a gift for making everyday moments special. Tina was an avid reader, loved Korean
• food, and was always stylishly dressed. She especially cherished the Christmas season,
• going above and beyond to beautifully decorate her home and tree. She took great care in
• choosing thoughtful gifts and wrapping them with elegant paper and bows. She never forgot
• a birthday and always found meaningful ways to celebrate the people in her life.
• 
  
• She also loved staying active and could often be found at the gym, where she built many
• lasting friendships over the years.
• 
  
• Another of Tina’s favorite pastimes was visiting Thunder Valley Casino with her husband,
• Stan. There, she joyfully played the machines, celebrated the occasional big win, attended
• concerts, and enjoyed dining at her favorite restaurants. She especially loved sharing these
• experiences—bringing along family and friends to enjoy dinners, shows, and time together.
• 
  
• Tina and Stan also shared a love for travel, especially going on cruises together. Wherever
• they went, Tina had a way of connecting with others—often forming instant friendships
• with fellow travelers and spending their vacations together as if they had known each other
• for years.
• 
  
• She was known for her generosity, loyalty, wit, and thoughtfulness. Whether she was
• creating personalized birthday cards for friends, working in her yard, or going for a run, she
• found joy in both the simple and meaningful moments of life. Her radiant smile could light
• up any room, and those around her felt seen, loved, and uplifted in her presence.
• 
  
• More than anything, Tina cherished her role as a grandmother. She loved being called
• “Grandma,” and her grandchildren brought her immense joy and pride.
