Cheryl "Tina Christine Gardner

Cheryl C. Gardner, “Tina”, age 59, passed away August 24, 2025.

Tina was born September 3, 1965, in Canton, OH, to the late Richard Debach and Sandra Gardner-Dunfee.

She was a 1983 graduate of Tuslaw High School. Tina enjoyed collecting dragons and doing crafts. She was known for her decoration skills, especially around the holidays and the changing of seasons. Easter and Christmas were her favorite. Tina loved to spend her down time watching YouTube and going to the movies, while enjoying one of her favorite snacks, pixie sticks. Tina was a hard working – and great – mom, who continued to do anything for her children, even throughout her illness. She will be incredibly missed by those dear to her.

Tina leaves behind her three children; Matthew (Carime) Gardner, Mikayla Gardner and Sierra Gardner; and brother Larry “Rocky” Gardner.

In addition to her parents, Tina is preceded in death by her brother, Gary “Tommy” Gardner.

Per Tina’s request, cremation has taken place. Memorial services in her honor will be held at a later date.
