Tina was born March 12, 1956, in Lawrence, KS, the daughter of CJ and Norma (Whiteaker) Elliott.

Tina was a "Jane of all trades", keeping busy with sewing, cooking, any number of arts or crafts, woodworking, gardening, or whatever else sparked her interest in learning. She loved the outdoors and in particular, the mountains. Her strength of will and sense of humor will never be forgotten by anyone who knew her. Her superpower was at making cookies with her grandkids. She was greatly and deeply loved and she will be missed intensely by those who knew her.
