Tina was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. I truly cherish my memories of sharing “Grandma” stories and pictures with her. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. My sincere condolences to her family.

Sofie Brinson's wedding — with Tina Tsen & Bruce Brinson

Wonderful time hiking with my friend Tina…😍❤️

Tina was one of the "good" ones:  good person, good personality, good friend, good student, good looks.  She was the whole package and it is hard to believe that she has passed.  I met Tina in Jr. High and we became good friends in high school.  I envied that she got to walk home from school and she thought I was the lucky one because I got to ride the bus.  I remember spending the night at her house many times and sleeping in the lavender bedroom (that she painted) on the third floor.  We had to dress quickly in the winter as there were no heat vents.  I remember having the best hot dog casserole for dinner and being impressed by her Dad using the ham radio.  I also remember walking to MYF meetings with her at the Methodist church just down the street.

I am sending my most sincere condolences especially to her children and grands.  This is a terrible loss for you and all her friends and family.  May God comfort you and give you peace.

Tina was graceful and kind, quick to laugh, and was always there to remind people to look for the small beauties around us daily. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to know her at Ehrhardt. ♥️

Tina introduced my wife Ellen Beck to me at South Carroll. It took another 50 years before we met again at 50th reunion and finally got married shortly thereafter( thanks Vietnam). I am so glad I was able to see her in 2018. She was a wonderful person, just wonderful!

My heart and prays are with Mrs Tina's family and loved ones. It was my pleasure for the last 8 years doing Mrs Tina's hair. I will miss seeing her faithfully every 3 weeks. I loved hearing about her beautiful grand kids and all they were doing, her book club and of course where they were dancing that weekend. She loved traveling to see her family and I loved hearing all her stories. It was a blessing to have known her and I am so thankful that she was a part of my life for as long as she was. I'm so sorry for your loss. 

Gran loved to board games/card games with us like swoop, monopoly, boggle, bananagrams and scrabble. ❤️ 

I didn't meet Tina until the 7th grade because I went to Winfield Elementary School. That year, we were in the same homeroom, and I hope that you all see our homeroom photo that I posted earlier. We were mostly in the same classes from then until graduation except that I took vocational agriculture instead of French since I planned to study Agricultural Engineering in college. Sometimes, the vocational agriculture classes didn't allow me to take the same academic classes. We were also in orchestra together for a few years although she was a far better musician than I. I remember her as a gentle soul and a very studious student. I knew that she was destined for greatness after she graduated. I'm looking forward to seeing her in heaven someday because I have no doubt that she's resting there. I'll continue to pray for her family and friends as they'll miss her dearly.
