I am so sad to hear about the news of Tina's passing. I am Uncle Stash to Judy Rutledge. I met Tina through her when they attended JMU together. I visited the college several times on my trip from Georgia to PA. Tina was always a joy to be around.
On their trip cross country after college they stopped by in Georgia for a visit and to crash for the night. I will remember Tina and keep her and her family in my prayers. May the Light of Jesus shine every so brightly upon her soul, AMEN

Dear Marlin and Family,
Sending prayers and our deepest sympathies…there are no words. Tina was so vibrant and full of life. She was always positive and had great ideas which is why I hand picked her to take my place on the SWP Board all those years ago; I knew she would be an amazing asset.
What a BAD awful cancer…same one I lost my Mom to a couple of years ago. She was healthy and then suddenly we buried her 4 months later. I’m so sorry but now she will not suffer and is at peace. You will see her often when she comes around to check in and let you know she is OK. That will bring you some peace. God bless.
Sincerely,
Catherine and Justin Bogaty

Our deepest condolences to your family at this time of your immeasurable loss. Our son Hunter worked for AirPac for several years and always thought of Tina as his mom away from home. She and I often connected over our fierce devotion to our children. Once sitting next to each other in church, after catching up on the lives of our kids, a hymn began to play and we simultaneously started getting teary eyed. We looked over at each other and started to laugh. She was a beautiful person in every way. We will miss her vivacious personality and humor. God bless you and your family. I’m so so sorry to miss her funeral as I am out of town.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Tina was a kind and lovely person. I never felt judged by her and so enjoyed my time with her and her family at church functions, boy scout outings and school activities. A word with her never failed to make the day brighter. She was rightfully loved and respected; her absence will be felt in perpetuity across the Shenandoah Valley and by all those who knew her. My thoughts are with her family.
