This is unfortunately the first I heard of Tina's passing. I, for one, will never ever forget her. She played one of, if not the biggest part of my being who I am today. The biggest heart of anyone, ever, and she always believed in me. Even when I didn't, in fact more then ever when I didn't. She is truly and angel I lost contact with her quite a while ago and always had hoped to hear from her again. This made me very very sad and my heartfelt condolences to the family. Tina, we all miss you. Thank you. Thank you...
I was privileged to work with Tina as the Criminal Defense Lawyer who represented Susan Wakeman in Crandon, WI. Tina, was honest, conscientious, diligent and hard working--and always had a smile on her face. I was very saddened to learn of her untimely passing. Joel Hirschhorn
We were just at Goodwill with out Girl Scout troop & Tina gave us a tour of the facility..she explained everything about what "Goodwill" represented... the girls really enjoyed learning from her...
Prayers with you & your family ~ my deepest sympathy, Tina was truly a great person ~
I only new Tina a short while. Had the oppurtunity to spend all my caring leader training for Goodwill with Tina. Though we didn't get to know her like we would have liked, she was such an eager outgoing woman and was devoted to her new role with Goodwill. She will be missed. My condolences go to her family, friends and Goodwill family.
Tina l lived and practiced the true meaning of "GOODWILL" she shared her heart and soul and gave to me the gift of her example. Thank you Tina.
My thoughts go out to Tina's family. I had the priviledge of working with her on one occasion, and it was obvious she was a fantastic woman. She will be greatly missed by her Goodwill family.
When I spoke to Mom yesterday, she mentioned that Tina had passed. I am so very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

Doran and family,
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. May your love for each other help you stand strong and pull through this.
I will always remember Tina as a fun and caring person to be around. I always looked forward to seeing her. She will truely be missed.
I have known Tina for a few years. When she came to work at Wittenberg Homme, it was as if God sent me an angel. She was my go to person, very dedicated and hard working. She had a way of making a difficult job more enjoyable. She was great with the kids that she worked with. Always putting their treatment needs above her own personal needs. It is nice to know that Tina will not only be remembered by her co-workers, but also by the hundreds of people that she has helped through the years.
I could fill a library with the laughs and memories that you have left me. You have left behind so many positive things. Way to many to name. I will be forever changed because of you. You were as much part of my family as I yours. We could not have been any closer than if we were sisters. I will miss our daily talks, even just to say hi. You left me too soon, but your memories will be with me forever.
We shared many laughs while working. She enjoyed cooking while we did camping trips with the residents. She also had sharp canoe skills!
Tina was my travel friend. Every year we would visit Vegas and we never left it the same.
We spent many Packer games together..all for a good cause. Tina was always about the cause
Tina's gentle, loving spirit shone brightly through in every contact we had. Her years were far too short on this earth, but her legacy will surely live on long in the hearts and lives of all those she touched. Our deepest heart sympathies go to her family and loved ones; she will be sorely missed by so many.
In the few times I had the oppurtunity to work with Tina I could tell she had a BIG heart. She really wanted to make a differnece in her store and the lives of her team members. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and her Goodwill family.

I had the opportunity and privilege to work with Tina when I was in Rhinelander. She brought strength and commitment to that Team. She will indeed be missed by her Team and the people she touched throughout Goodwill. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and the Antigo Team.
When I first met Tina I knew imediately that she was the perfect candidate for the Antigo Goodwill Store. She had all the right stuff. People skills and business accumen. She will be missed by all who had the privelege to know her. It is clear she was a great compassionate leader.
From the moment I met Tina, her compassion and caring nature were very evident. At Goodwill, she touched the lives of both team members and team leaders in such a positive way. Her leadership and presence will live on through those who were lucky enough to know her.
Tina will be missed, by Goodwill and by me, I feel blessed to have been able to spend time with Tina for the past year. Tina made a difference one person one situation at a time, I will be forever changed for having known her.
We have lost a wonderful leader. I am grateful for having gotten to work with Tina. She was a terrific person. My thoughts and prayers to her family, friends, and to our Antigo Goodwill family.
Goodwill will miss her warmth and leadership. My prayers have been and will be with you all.
