While living in Washington D.C, Tina met her husband Keith Kennedy in April of 1981.  After dating, Tina relocated to San Francisco, California where Keith resided.  They were married in San Francisco, California on October 16, 1982 and soon after, had three daughters; Erika, Kathryn and Ashley.

She is survived by her husband, Keith Kennedy and daughters Erika Kennedy, Kathryn (Kennedy) Beaudin and Ashley Kennedy; her mother Sandra (Kochanowski) Thomas, step father John Thomas; her siblings Tracy Mann, Troy Mann, Vicki (Thomas) Russ, Keni Thomas; sister-in-law, Karen Mann; brother-in-law, Michael Russ; mother-in-law, Fern Kennedy; sisters-in-law Coleen Isensee, Diane Bever; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

In her free time, she enjoyed celebrating her passion of art through painting, ceramics, listening to music, wine tasting and eating great food with her family. She is also a Kansas City Chiefs fan and never misses a game.
