Tina M. Boone

In Celebration of Her Life

Boone, Tina M. of North Fort Myers, Florida was born August 23rd, 1957 in Saint Louis, Missouri to Joseph Salvatore and Lorraine Delores, and entered into rest Sunday, June 5th, 2022 at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Saint Louis, Missouri at the age of 64 years, 9 months, and 13 days.

She is preceded in death by her mother Lorraine Delores, father Joseph Salvatore, husband Russell Boone, son Rory Boone, brothers Anthony Michael Signorello and Patrick Signorello, and sister Joyce Bogaski.

She is survived by her two loving children Jayme (Lee) Ruesch and Russell Boone Jr., her sister Mary Whyte, her three grandchildren Cierrah Boone, Breanna Boone, Eliza Ruesch, and many other family and friends.

Tina loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.  She enjoyed shopping, bingo, gardening, relaxing days poolside, and baking cookies while listening to Elvis Presley during the Holiday season.  Late in life she and her husband Russ left Missouri for sunny Florida to begin the great adventure of their retirement together.  She will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

    I worked with your Dad many years ago – we worked the evening shift together and used to go out after work for a few cold ones. We were very good friends back in the day. Then as time went on I met your Mom and we became friends! I was so happy to see they moved to Florida, but it was a short lived dream. I sure you will miss for a long, long time. My thoughts and prayers are with you – they were fun, good people. Take care of yourselves – keep baking cookies at Christmas with a little Elvis in the background and remember your Mama.

    I worked with both Tina and Russ at AT&T. They truly enjoyed their life, family and friends. I loved reading Tina’s Facebook posts and watching the videos of their activities at the community they resided in Florida. May your memories comfort you.

    I met Tina in the early 1970’s through her childhood friend Rita (Clark) Zerkel. She was a frequent visitor at the Clark’s home as was I. Tina was a kind hearted person with a good sense of humor. She will be sorely missed.

    My husband John and I worked with Tina and Russ back when it was Southwestern Bell. Russ and John used to fish those Bell fishing tournaments. I remember you both as little kids. We were at your house many times. Know that Mom will always be watching over you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

    I knew both your parents, Russ and Tina, and know that they were taken from their family and friends way too soon. Tina had the unique quality to make friends wherever she went due to her wonderful personality and sense of humor. I’m sending my thoughts and prayers
    to help heal our loses.
    Tina… (just another SWBT gang member)
