Garland with whom she shared over 65 years of marriage. She was born in Lawrence on February 17, 1936, a daughter of the late Angelo and Mary (Misserville) Mancini. Tina grew up in Lawrence and attended Lawrence public schools. On May 1, 1955, she married the love of her life, and together they had two daughters, Audrey, and Andrea. At age 26, Tina suffered a stroke, leaving her with severe muscle weakness, but she did not allow this to hold her back from anything she wanted to do. She was a true role model of strength and determination. She leaned how to sew and crochet, a talent she grew to enjoy. She liked to cook and bake Italian cookies, but her greatest joy was spending time with her family. Tina adored her grandchildren and even volunteered in the school her grandsons attended while they were young. She also volunteered at Lawrence General Hospital for over 25 years. Tina was a devout Christian and longtime member of the New England Bible Church in Andover, where she taught Sunday school for many years.
