Tina was born December 26, 1965, in Iowa City, the daughter of Victor Thurn and Bonnie Botello. Though very small, you could never tell by her spirit. She became a mother at the young age of 15, but managed to keep her eyes on the prize. She graduated from Central High School in Davenport on June 2, 1985, was a loving mother of three by 1988. Tina always had a strong work ethic; working two jobs most of her life to provide for her children. She was given four beautiful grandkids, who stole her heart. Her grandkids were her everything! Tina earned her crown in heaven on April 5, 2013 at 9:43 a.m. She was taken by the hand of the Lord at a young age, but she lived a long and wonderful life. Tina was a friend of many, and loved by all. May you rest in peace. She was preceded in death by her father and an infant brother.

Tina and I grew up down the street from one another. In a neighborhood dominated by boys, she had no problem holding her own. I’m glad for her she got to cherish her kids and grand kids. God’s blessings be upon her soul, and may her family find His peace during this time and always.
Brittany and family, we are sorry for your loss and you are in our thoughts and prayers. Keep your memories of your mother close to your heart.
Kind regards,
The Bamsey Family

Brittany and Sean. So sorry for your lose. Your brother is so sorry that he could not be there. We want you to know that if there is anything anything at all please let us know. We love you both and will be here if you need us.
I can’t believe this. Tina was my very first best friend. I think the only arguement we ever had was when she used my favorite flavoring for snow cones. I have thought about her often and will miss her forever. I wish we would have stayed in touch.
I have just heard about Tina and am very sad! She was to young. I knew Tina when she was a teenager with baby Tony and they lived with her sister at the top of Belle Ave hill in Davenport, Ia. I have seen her occasionally over the years but, she never looked any different. Still cute little Tina. I am sorry for her loss and the grief her family are going through. God’s peace be with you all!
