Christine "Tina" Tolkacz, age 68, of Milwaukee WI, passed away April 20th, 2026 after a meaningful life filled with love, laughter, and family.

Christine, known to many as Tina, was a devoted mother, cherished Gigi, sister, and partner. She leaves behind her beloved children Ben (Trista) Tolkacz and Kelly (Bill Fink) Tolkacz, and her treasured grandchildren Bentlee, Logan, and Kaylee. She was a sister to Irene Reitmann, Steven Stelske, and George Slayman, and she was preceded in death by her sister Roslinda Stelske. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. She shared a special bond with her significant other, Bob Bowman, whose companionship brought her comfort and joy.

Tina’s heart belonged to her family and to the little things that brought her happiness—hummingbirds and flamingos among her favorite symbols of joy. Above all, her greatest pride was being a Gigi, a role she embraced with boundless love, patience, and pride in every moment spent with her grandchildren.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Private family interment will take place at a later date.
