In the summer of 1987, she graduated with a Master's degree in Education from the University of Texas in San Antonio. In that same year on December 31st, she married Roger Contreras and gained two daughters Brianna and Valerie. One of Tina's proudest
moment of her life was becoming a grandmother in 1993. She was at the birth of all her grandchildren. She absolutely adored and loved every grandchild in her own special way. Tina's priorities never wavered as she valued and put her children, grandchildren and family first. They were her life! Tina was a highly respected educator for over 30 years until retiring in 2005 from the San Antonio Independent School District. She was a
