It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Christina (Tina) Beth Allen McKinnon, who passed away on June 7, 2026 at the age of 76, in Heber-Overgaard, AZ after battling years of dementia.

Tina and her beloved husband, Steven McKinnon, recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on April 28, 2026. Together they built a strong family and created a legacy that continues through their 9 children, 31 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.

Tina's many talents and interests brought beauty and comfort to those around her. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, quilting, and a wide variety of crafts. She loved music and played the piano, enjoyed computers and technology, and was known as a great cook and baker. She had a love for chocolate, a nurturing heart for animals, and an extraordinary love for babies.

Among her most cherished experiences were serving in the Snowflake Arizona Temple and completing two senior missions with Steve. Her life was a testament to faith, service, and perseverance.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, Tina will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. Her example of Christlike service, kindness, and enduring faith touched countless lives and leaves a lasting legacy for generations to come.
