Kristina Lynn Greene's Obituary
GREENE, KRISTINA “TINA” LYNN GILBERT, 42 years of age, went home to be with Jesus on Sunday, May 27, 2007 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She left this life peacefully in her sleep in the arms of her husband. Born on June 22, 1964 in Englewood, California to parents Joe and Jean Gilbert of Dallas, Texas, she attended Hillcrest High School and graduated from Texas Tech University in 1986 with a BBA in Business Administration. After college, Tina worked 21 years with the Internal Revenue Service. She was involved in many community activities in the Little Elm area, including the Little Elm Festival Association, the Little Elm Area Youth Sports Association and as a youth sponsor with East Dallas Christian Church. She and her husband Pat were married for over 20 years and were true soul mates in every sense of the word. The other two great loves of her life were her two sons. She was a truly devoted mother and whenever physically able, she always made a point of attending their many sports and other school activities. Tina was always one who put everyone else first and herself second. As a loving wife, mother, loyal friend and co-worker, she was always striving to make everyone’s life better. Survivors include husband Pat Greene and sons Kevin and Christopher of Little Elm, Texas; parents Joe and Jean Gilbert; brother Scott Gilbert; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and nephews. Family will receive friends 6-8 pm, Thursday, May 31, 2007 at Restland Funeral Home. Services will be held at 1 pm, Friday, June 1, 2007 at Restland Memorial Chapel with Reverend Deborah Morgan, Senior Minister of East Dallas Christian Church officiating. Interment will follow at Restland Memorial Park. The family has requested in lieu of flowers that memorials be sent to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
