Tina was born on November 9, 1956 in Nampa to Everette and Venet Larsen and grew up in the Opaline area south of Marsing. Tina attended school in Marsing and participated in many school activities, graduating from Marsing High School in 1975.

During their marriage, Tina and Fred shared many memories while traveling the world, living in Nantes, France for two years and spending vacations in Cancun, Mexico.

I'm sorry to hear of Tina's passing. We were friends before 1st grade and had great times through high school. Life took us to different paths since, but I've never forgotten the good times and laughs that we had. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of Tina. All those Marsing "kids" were special, and Tina was one of my favorites when I began my teaching career in Marsing so many years ago. She was a leader and role model for others; and it's no surprise to me that she went on to have a successful career and life. I pray that memories of fun times and love shared will give you peace and comfort now and in the days ahead. Love and prayers to you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tina's passing. It has been many years since I saw her. I have such fond memories of growing up in Marsing and visiting "The Larsen's". Having a good meal, riding horses, and getting into whatever mischief we could find, was always on the agenda. Tina was always fun and so kind. Great memories of Tina and all the Larsen's are forever stored in my mind.
