Tina Manowski Obituary

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Tina Marie Manowski
Tina Marie Manowski passed away on June 28, 2025, at the young age of 54, peacefully and surrounded by family, after a short but brave battle with cancer. Tina was a devoted, loving single mom to her daughter, Maya --- her pride, joy, the center of her universe, and her greatest legacy.
She lived in Maple Valley and grew up in Black Diamond, Washington, where she picked up the strong values she carried throughout her life: sense of responsibility --- even if she also had a soft spot for fun, family, and a good poker night. Tina spent 35 years working in the banking and mortgage world, where she built a reputation for being sharp, dependable, and downright admired by everyone who knew her. but work was just one part of her life.
Her true passion? Her people, Tina was the glue that held everyone together --- hosting the holidays, planning family dinners, dealing the cards, and making sure there was always enough food, love, and laughter to go around. She had a way of putting everyone else first without ever making it seem like a burden. That was just Tina.
She leaves behind her daughter, Maya, her dad, Dennis North, her sister, Laurie Cutting, and husband Chuck; her brother, Jason North, and wife Malia; her sister, Kristy North. She was the beloved aunt of Cooper, Kai, Oriah, Evoni, Milli, Jacob, Ethaniel, and Paisley --- all whom adored her. She also leaces a piece of her heart with her cousin and dearest friend Lynn Bekcourt. She's now reunited with her mom, Julie Manowski North, and her father, James Manowski and "Nan" Mary Manowski.
Tina's strength, humor, and hear will be missed more than words can say --- but she left a little of that spark in everyone who knew her. So now, in true Tina fashion, we're doing what she'd want --- celebrating her life with cards, laughter, and good company. Bring your pokey and your best poker face!
Celebration of life graciously hosted by lifelong friends Brent and Andrea Coby.
