She worked numerous jobs but took the most pride in raising her children. Tina’s passion was crocheting and crafting. She was also a leader of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and a 4-H Club. Tina was the type of person who lit up a room when she entered. Her true colors were beautiful like a rainbow.
She is survived by her husband, Gary Swanson; children; Alyssa Klotz, Acacia Angelico, Kelsey Swanson, and Shaylee Swanson; grandchildren; Zoey Angelico, Leah, Oliva, and Liam Downey; dog Oliver; cats Lincoln, Lucky, & Lillie.
Christina was preceded in death by her mother Rosalie and her beloved animals, including Sabrina & Pippen.
