She married David Hinds, also of Edina, on December 27, 1959, at St. Joseph Church in Edina. They recently celebrated their 65th anniversary

After stops in Columbia and Kansas City, they raised their children in Hannibal, MO, where Tina was an amazing mother, school volunteer, 4-H horsemanship leader, Cub Scout den mother, sports booster, hospital auxiliary member and member of the Hannibal Catholic Parish. Tina was an avid and accomplished duplicate bridge player, achieving her goal of becoming a Life Master, accumulating enough points to accomplish the feat several times over.

As her children grew older, Tina became a successful real estate agent. Having never met a stranger, she always said there was nothing better than people and houses. After moving to Ogden,Utah in 1983, she served on the executive board of the Northern Utah Board of Realtors and became one or the top producing realtors in the area. In Ogden, Tina and Dave enjoyed skiing, hiking and many adventures with their Newcomers club. She skied weekly at Snowbasin and attended Holy Family Catholic Church. Boating vacations at Lake Powell and Bear Lake were among her favorites.

They followed their first grandchildren back to Missouri in 1990 and have lived in Columbia for the last 35 years. She continued her real estate career and doted on her grandchildren. She was a member of King's Daughters, Midas Maids investment club, Columbia Duplicate Bridge Club and attended St. Thomas More Newman Center. Tina and her family enjoyed regular trips to Lake of the Ozarks, where Tina and Dave first vacationed together in 1960.

Tina was preceded in death by her parents, Dick and Tina Cornelius, and in-laws Uel Lee "Buddy" and Helene Salzenstein Hinds.
