Tina Jo Smith, age 54, passed away peacefully at her home in Whittier, CA on June 20,2020. Tina was an amazing daughter, sister, Aunt, and friend to many. She loved to go bird watching wherever she was and always had her binoculars with her to spot that special bird. She loved to go on walks and look for different species of bugs and had an amazing bug collection that was displayed at the Orange County fair for a couple of years. She was an avid traveler and has been to many places where she always made new friends and had a good time. She was in a choir and always loved to sing since she was a child. She also played the piano and has copyrights to a song she wrote. One of her favorite thing to do in the most recent years was to have "gamming" night with her friends. She always talked about how fun it was. She loved to eat a variety of food and was never afraid to try new things. Tina is preceded in death by her mom (Lynne Rose Smith), father (Charles Beck Smith), and sister (Theresa Lynne Smith). She is survived by one sister (Stephanie Anne Smith), Nephews, Michael B Minter (Rebecca), Dennis W Minter (Kathleen), and Austin A Smith (Hannah). Nieces, Meagan V Caswell and Amy L Caswell and several great nephews and great nieces. In lieu of flowers please make any donations to the humane society as Tina was a pet lover and her cats were everything to her, they were her children. Memorial of life will be held at a later date by family and friends.
