She attended Briercrest Bible Institute in Caronport, Saskatchewan where she met her best friend and future husband Gerald and married on September 27, 1957. Tina and Gerald served as missionaries in France from 1961 - 1972 with the Bible Christian Union, after which they served as pastors in Montreal until 1976. They then moved to Caronport, where Tina worked as a Psychiatric nurse in Moose Jaw until her retirement in 1995.
