She was the second of two children and preceded in death by her parents and her brother Andrew A. Patrick. Tina attended Seton High School in Bladensburg, Maryland where she graduated in 1962. She moved from Baltimore to Hawaii in the late 1960’s where she lived for three years and worked as a civil servant at Hickam Air Force Base. It was in Hawaii that she met the love of her life, Charles “Toby” Hart. Tina and Toby married on September 30 ^th , 1973 and were married for 16 years until Toby’s death on January 7 ^th , 1990.

Tina is survived by her two children and their spouses Michael Anthony and Jennifer Nicole Hart and Teresa Rennee and Timothy Paul Ishikawa, and her eight grandchildren: Malia Christine Hart, Isaac Michael Gutierrez, Michael Anthony Hart, Jr., Jacob Daniel Ishikawa, Selena Nicole Hart, Savanna Michelle Hart, Noah Samuel Ishikawa, and Sydney Nicole Hart, and two great-grandchildren: Rayden Joseph Felix and Ronan James Felix. She spoke fondly of the years she spent raising her children and spending time with her grandchildren as they brought great joy to her life.

Tina was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. A true lady in every sense of the word, she will be remembered for her kindness, patience, gentleness, and grace. She always put the needs of other before her own, and defined selflessness and generosity. She loved to dance and laugh and had the voice of an angel. Beautiful inside and out, she loved and was loved so dearly by everyone around her.

We will miss you our beautiful Mom, Grandma, and sweetest friend. Until we meet again, in Heaven.
