Tina M. Lear, 57, Altoona, went to be with the Lord on Thursday. She was born and raised in Altoona, daughter of the late Joseph and Alice (Prough) DeCriscio.
Tina is survived by her daughter and son, Tiffany M. Deyarmin and David Deyarmin II and his wife, Chelsea; her five grandsons: Julian Sponsler, Aiden Deyarmin, Denton Gray-Rhodes, Landen Lundy and Linkon Deyarmin; her sister, Christine DeCriscio; a nephew, Franklin Reed Jr. (Krystle Cruthers); her niece, Charity Reed; her great nieces, Jersey Hollabaugh and Layla Reed; her aunts and uncles: Bob and Noreen DeCriscio, Patricia and Dave Hoffman, Linda Thomas, Tina Prough and Richard Prough. Tina is also survived by a multitude of extended family and friends, including her beloved pets, Willow and Charlie.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Mark Lear; her brother, Joseph "Joey" DeCriscio; and both her parents.
Tina retired from JRI-CSTU as a youth care worker and enjoyed serving her church at Bethany Lutheran, where she was a lifelong member. She always looked forward to spending her summers at camp, otherwise she spent her time traveling the country, panning for gold, serving God and her community and, most importantly, making sure her family was well fed with all the family recipes.
At the request of the deceased, there will be no visitation or service. Tina will be laid to rest at Alto-Reste Park with her husband and parents.
Arrangements are by The Stevens Mortuary Inc., 1421 Eighth Ave., Altoona.
The family asks that contributions be made in Tina's memory to Bethany Lutheran Church, 200 Third Ave., Altoona, PA 16602.
