Tressa D. Augustine, age 53, of Beaverton, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Saturday, July 5, 2025. She was born on September 16, 1971, in West Branch. Tressa received her Bachelor’s in Engineering from ITT Technical Institute. She was heavily involved in Beaverton Community Schools, working as a Paraprofessional, substitute teacher, and coach. For many years, Tressa coached volleyball, basketball, and softball teams through Beaverton. She also coached the Midland Lady Explores Travel Softball Team for 10 years. On June 11, 1994, she married the love of her life, Robert Augustine. Together they shared 31 years of love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Tressa had a passion for coaching and a natural connection with children. She loved being outside, whether she was fishing, playing games, or simply enjoying the sunshine. Vacations were something she looked forward to and enjoyed. More than anything, Tressa treasured time with her family.
