On May 2, 1998 she married the love of her life, Perry Paulson. Together they celebrated 18 years of marriage. She raised two wonderful children, Dustyn and Morgan. Tina loved snowmobiling, traveling, camping, attending the kids' school events, and going on field trips with Morgan and Dustyn, always making sure they had a treat. She loved her kids and would do anything for them. Tina also loved to be social and looked forward to her "bowling nights."

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But nevertheless still my own.
Never forget for a single minute
You weren't born under my heart
But in it.
~ Love,
Mom
