Obituary
A formal remembrance
Tina Marie Washington, 39, of Tempe/Phoenix, passed away on December 12, 2005. A dedicated preschool teacher, Tina brought patience, gentle guidance, and joy to the children in her care. Colleagues remembered her as a steady presence who cared deeply for the youngsters she taught and for the families she served.
Tina was also a devoted mother whose love for her children was a defining part of her life. A cherished piece of jewelry engraved 'we love mom' — set with three birthstones — reflected the central place her children held in her heart. Those who knew her recall her quiet strength, commitment to family, and the warmth she offered in everyday moments.
Her community came together to honor Tina’s life. Friends and employers helped ensure she received a proper memorial service during a difficult holiday season, a testament to the respect and affection many felt for her. Services were held at Resthaven Park Mortuary in Phoenix.
Though taken far too soon, Tina’s impact endures in the memories of the families and students she touched. Her compassion, devotion to children, and love for her family remain the lasting legacy of a life defined by care for others.
