Racine – Christina “Tina” Marie (nee: Kovac) Abromaitis, age 61, passed away at Froedtert Hospital on Friday, April 26, 2019, surrounded with the love of family.
A lifetime resident, Tina was born in Racine on June 18, 1957 to the late Edward J. and Ellen M. (nee: Cullen) Kovac. She graduated from Washington Park High School in 1975. On June 9, 1979 in Holy Name Catholic Church, she was united in marriage with the love of her life, Olgierd “Alex” Abromaitis, by Rev. Edward A. Vogel.
A true people person, Tina was employed as a banker at Pioneer Savings & Loan, now known as TCF Bank, where she was later promoted to Assistant Vice-President. She retired from Johnson Bank in 2010 when her health began to fail. Tina was a member of St. Rita Catholic Church. Among her interests, she was a master flower & vegetable gardener; cherished worldwide traveling with her family; was an avid reader; enjoyed cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and her family members at football games; and, above all, absolutely loved being a grandma. Tina’s family were her everything.
Surviving are her husband of nearly 40 years, Alex; their beautiful daughters, Laura Abromaitis and Julie (Justin) Slaasted; treasured grandchildren, Aidan, Weston, Jude, Avery and Quinn; brother, Edward (Linda) Kovac; sister, Patty (Robin) Jacobsen; sisters-in-law, Gina Perri and Yolanda (Les) Kasperek; special nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends – too numerous to mention all by name. In addition to her parents, Tina was preceded in death by her dear niece, Colette Contois; and by Alex’s parents, Eugene & Stella Abromaitis.

I am so sorry for your loss. No words can take away the pain of losing a loved one, especially when it was too soon. But please know that God is with you during this difficult time… Your beloved Tina is in a deep sleep, in peace (1 Thessalonians 4:13,14).
Please trust in God’s promise, that we will not be going through this forever; suffering, getting sick, and dying. There is a hope that God has promised us! Revelation 21:3,4
