Florentina Sara "Tina" Abel was born August 11th 1941, (more convincingly 1931), in Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. She peacefully got her VIP pass to enter the Pearly Gates while surrounded by the endless love and support of her family on June 4th 2021, at 3:20PM.

Tina's wisdom and love will continue to grow and live on through her legacy, which focuses on faith, love, unmatched humor, and to always make sure that anyone who entered her home left fed and full.

In lieu of other tributes, remembrances can be made responsibly, or irresponsibly, by gambling at the casino. Tina wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
