"Dear Reidar, and Linda and family, My condolences to your family. Tiffany was such a beautiful young woman. My son, Shamus Judge, attended Ingraham High School, and that is where I met Tiffany. Her smile was absolutely infectious, and she was always bubbly, and vivacious. The thing that struck me so personally about her was how quietly brave she seemed. I am truly sorry for your loss. Take care, Sue Williams-Judge & Shamus Judge"
In loving memory of
Tiffany Tynes
October 13, 1990 - February 7, 2018

Tiffany was loved by all who met her, with her positive attitude and optimism brightening any room. She exemplified the strength of the human spirit.
Tiffany is survived by her father, Reidar Tynes and her brother Keven Tynes both of Seattle, Washington and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Tiffany was preceded in death by her mother, Linda Tynes of Seattle, Washington.
