Christina (Tina) Galarneau passed away at her home on September 17, 2023, after a courageous 20 month battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Tina was born in February 1949 to the late Matthew and Viola Bologna. Tina was predeceased by her brother Mattey and her stepson Robert Galarneau and step granddaughter Alessia Galarneau. Tina is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Ken. Her son Dave Ehmann and her stepson's Craig and Scott (Christina) Galarneau; Her grandchildren Alexandra and Aimee Ehmann and her step grandchildren Darian and Giada Galarneau; her siblings RoseMarie (Charlie) Murphy, Victoria Mahar, and Joanne (Scott) Bologna-Jill-Tina is also survived by many nieces and nephews

Tina combined a successful career with raising her children and maintaining her home. Tina worked for various state agencies and retired after 33 yrs from the Department of Health where she was a medicaid claims supervisor.

Tina loved to attend the various events her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and grandniece participated in. Whether it was basketball, football, baseball, lacrosse, volleyball, softball, cheerleading or dance recitals, she would be there cheering them on.

Tina's greatest passion beyond her family was her home. She was an avid gardener and landscaper. She was also a great interior designer and took much pride in maintaining both the inside and outside of her home.

Tina also loved to host parties and her annual pool party was the hottest ticket in town. She would spend weeks readying her house and preparing the food. She would also make sure the karaoke machine was in good working order and she had the latest music available.

On behalf of Tina and her family, A BIG Thank You goes out to the wonderful staff and doctors at NYOH who helped her through her battle with her cancer. A big thank you also goes out to hospice who helped her in her final weeks.
