TINA BAUMAN February 2, 1915 - January 6, 2003 Tina was born in Altona, MB to Helena and Jacob Baumann. Tina was the second oldest of six children, and at the age of 18 their mother, died. Tina assumed full responsibility of her siblings, nurtured and cared for them and continued to do so for the rest of her life. She is survived by two sisters, Erna Wyld of British Columbia, Mickey Gauthier (Albert) of Quebec. When Tina was 13 the family moved to Winnipeg, where she completed normal school. Tina taught for several years in rural Manitoba, then returned to Winnipeg to teach at Victory School Montcalm, King Edward, Robertson, and Wellington Schools, the latter years as a resource teacher. Tina also obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree. She retired in 1975, and enjoyed her retirement despite numerous health concerns. Tinas humour was a great part of her character - her ability to make others laugh and always able to laugh at herself. She will be remembered for her steadfast friendship, her unconditional love of family, interest in the lives of others, and her kindness and warmth. She will be missed by many and always in our hearts.
