Tina was born on October 25, 1964, to parents James and Marilyn (Marshall) Arnold in Mason City.

Tina began the start of her adult life at the young age of four, when she was brought to Boston, MA. There she began her schooling at Perkins school for the blind, and in her case the deaf.
She continued her schooling there until the age of 16, when she was moved to and graduated from Council Bluffs, IA. When she finished her schooling, she moved to Waterloo, IA, working many jobs in her life including Hy-Vee Grocers and Rudy’s Tacos. To which she committed 25 years of her life. Tina will be missed by so many people that she touched in her short, but meaningful lifetime.
Tina is survived by her sisters; Tammy (Phil) Pardun, Tracy (Danny) Shackleton, and Julie Black as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles. Including those who became family in Waterloo, IA.
She was preceded in death by her parents; Jim and Marilyn Arnold; grandparents Boyd and Lucille Arnold, Robert and Luella Marshall; by her nephew Seth Mahnesmith, and by many aunts and uncles.
Those who she touched in her life will miss her greatly and wish her the best in her new chapter in life.
