Growing up in Mexico, Tina married Rodolfo at a young age. In 1958 they made their home in Loving, NM and began a family of their own, having six wonderful children. Tina loved being surrounded by her family, and had a special love for her grandchildren. She meant more to them than just a grandmother, she was their mommy. Over the years, her home was the hub for her siblings to gather and stay connected. She helped to create unity and peace, and passed down to her children the significance of family being together. Tina was a faithful and active member at Our Lady of Grace Parish; she endlessly gave of herself. She was a member of the Choir, a Eucharist Minister, Lecter, member of Altar Society, and always volunteered her time any way she could. Tina also enjoyed bingo, dancing, and cooking, especially known for her delicious homemade tamales and empanadas. One of her ways of showing love was through her meals, which she fed her family and many others throughout her lifetime. Tina was very fond of her pet birds. Throughout her life she always had various birds in her house, whether it was parrots, cockatiels, parakeets, finches or canaries. Through the richness of her life, Tina will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Tina was preceded in death by her father, Ismael Cueto; mother, Maria Cueto; husband, Rodolfo Fito S. Galindo; two grandsons: Ronnie Lujan and Joshua Castro; great-granddaughter, Cadence Marie Lopez; two brothers: Manuel Cueto and Eliacer Cueto; and son-in-law, Serapio Parraz.
