We mourn the loss of Tina Tengsater, who born on July 12, 1968, embarked on her final journey on January 17, 2026. A beacon of love and resilience, Tina’s legacy is one that will continue to thrive and inspire through her four children and four grandchildren.

The beloved mother of Brenda Atherholt, Carolynn Atherholt, Nicole Tengsater, and Aaron Atherholt, Tina showered her children with unconditional love and nurturing guidance. Her mother, Diana Darlene Tengsater, and Ex-husband, Gary Crull, share in the family’s sorrow.

Tina's life was further enriched by the joy of her granddaughters Aubreyella Grabarczyk and Violet Smith. Ava Marie Rolfe, and grandson Aiden Lee Atherholt In 2002,

Tina relocated to the peaceful vicinity of Sierra Vista and found significant joy in life's simple pleasures. She relished cheeseburgers, fish fillets, and the delightful addition of butter in her food. Her preferred beverages were the soothing iced tea and coffee.

Possessing a vibrant personality, Tina’s love for literature was evident through her favorite book "The diggest Dog" by Dr. Suess. An avid music lover, the tunes of 3 Doors Down, Alan Jackson, and Shaggy brought her immense joy. She regularly tuned into her favorite TV Show 'One Tree Hill', and the film 'Blazing Saddles' held a special place in her heart.

Tina ardently supported her favored sports team, the Redskins. Her leisure time was often spent playing Uno and Yahtzee, engaging in coloring activities, and solving puzzles. She cherished the scenic expanse of Ocean City during her vacations, while locally, Tombstone was her go-to spot. Caring deeply for animals, she was a proactive supporter of the ASPCA.

Tina relished the shade of purple and had a keen sense of humor, countered by stubbornness and resilience. Navigating through life’s turbulence with determination, she instilled the cherished lesson of resilience in her children: "No matter what life throws at you, you can push through." Among her countless accomplishments, her children remained her proudest achievement. Possessing an indomitable spirit, Tina faced life's adversities with steadfast courage, fighting with all her might till the end.

The memory of Tina's love and strength will be cherished by all who knew her. While the world seems a little less bright without her, her legacy will continue to inspire generations.
