She was predeceased by her parents, Abram and Katharina Enns, her brother, John and her sister-in-law, Mary Enns. Tina was born June 26, 1934 in Lena, Manitoba, the youngest of four children.

In 1964, she graduated from the Misericordia School of Nursing as an RN. She continued her education, completing her Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Manitoba. Tina was employed for 27 years as the Director of the Misericordia School of Nursing. She had a tremendous love and passion for nursing and witnessed many nursing students graduate to become competent and knowledgeable clinicians.

In her busy life, she found time to sing in the Mennonite Oratorio choir, the Faith and Life choir, play in a Hand Bell choir and participate in a bowling league. Upon retiring in 1993, Tina turned to other challenges. She volunteered many hours at Ten Thousand Villages and the Gift Shop at the Victoria General Hospital. She leaves to mourn two sisters, Nellie Enns and Margaret (Jake) Peters, seven nieces and nephews and their families, many cousins and friends. A celebration of Tina's life will be held on Wednesday, July 3, at 11:00 a.m. at the Sargent Avenue Mennonite Church, 926 Garfield Street, Winnipeg.

Tina was a great encouragement to me during the MCI years, times of laughter, and just being together. We both entered the nursing profession though we did not train at the same hospital in Winnipeg. - Posted by: Helen (Dyck) Pope (fellow grad from MCI) on: Aug 09, 2013

We remember Tina with fondness. Condolences go out to Margaret and Nellie. "Reading and Writing and 'Rithmatic, taught to the tune of a hickory stick." What memories.

Just wanted to say that I always had high regard for the Enns family. Tina obviously left a meaningful legacy in her roles as a leading nurse. Although our paths seldom crossed, it was always a delight to sit and smile and talk together. Our condolences to Nellie and Margaret and other Lena friends and relatives.
