Obituary of Tina M. Thompson

Tina M. Thompson
(nee Battista)

Age 55, of Bolingbrook, IL, passed unexpectedly at home Tuesday, December 11, 2018.  Tina had been battling several health issues the past year, spending time in and out of care facilities.  She was able to come home before Thanksgiving for which we are all grateful, however, her Lord and Savior saw fit to bring her home to the Kingdom of Heaven for Christmas for which we too, are thankful.  The struggle is over, the pain is no longer.

Tina was born August 7, 1963 in Geneva, IL to the late Judith (nee Johnson) and John Battista and was raised in Wheaton, IL.  She had made her home in Bolingbrook for the past 20 years.

In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her sisters, Barb Parenti and Rose Brossart.

Surviving are her husband, Albert “Al” Thompson, as well as Nick (Katie) Thompson, Melanie (Zach) Duck and Tony Battista, who Tina thought of as her “kids”.  Also survived by grandkids, A.J., Vince and Carly Battista; sister, Cheryl Battista; aunt (more like a sister), Diane (Glen) Cozzie and aunt Sherry (Keith) Johnson and many nieces and nephews.  

Tina loved to cook for her family and friends, which extended to her community as she was a caterer for many years.  She was a member of New Life Lutheran Church and the Hampton Park Social and Athletic Clubs.

She will be remembered fondly as a very loving and kind soul who loved being surrounded by her family and friends.
