Blackley Cemetery. · Manchester
In tender grace, a mother's love unfolds, A sister's laughter, a treasure to hold. An aunt's wisdom, a guiding light, A nana's embrace, warmth every night. In their absence, love's eternal flame, Whispering memories, each cherished name.
Life story

Tina, born Martina Boyd on Dingle Road, Cabra, Dublin, was the 3rd youngest of 13 children to the late John and Teresa Boyd. Growing up between Dublin and Manchester, Tina embraced life with resilience and warmth. A devoted mother to 7 children—Davey, Amy, John, Dominic, Carl, Chantelle, and Mark—and a proud grandmother to 17.

In September 2017, Tina faced the loss of her lifelong love, Dickie, with whom she shared over 30 years of cherished moments. With a cigarette in hand and a bottle of coke by her side, Tina navigated life's joys and challenges with unwavering strength.

Her laughter echoed through the years, leaving an indelible mark on those who knew her. Tina is greatly missed by all, especially her children, who carry the legacy of her love and resilience in their hearts.
