58,born in Providence, Rhode Island.
A daughter of Priscilla (Correia)Silva, Raymond R. Smith and the late John L. Silva, passed away under Hospice Care
peacefully on March 16, 2018 surrounded by her loving family.
Having graduated from Central High School in Providence, Rhode Island (Class of 1978), she was employed as a an Administrative Clerk at Johnson & Wales University.
Tina also took several college courses at URI, and hoped to resume her college to studies.
Tina had the drive and ambition to work hard to reach her goals, often working two jobs for almost 15 years at both Johnson and Wales University and Jovan's Multiplex.
She also met very good friends working in these capacities, many of whom were devoted friends to the end of her life.
Tina was known to "keep it real", and those who knew her, often experienced her sharp wit. Her advice was often sought from her nieces, nephews, siblings and children.
If the truth hurts, you'd best not ask Tina.
Some of Tina's favorite activities included cooking, eating, sharing and trying new recipes. She was passionate about music, movies, relaxing and spending time with family and friends.
Tina was a fighter and battled her illness
courageously. She is survived by her three
children, Dina, Troy and Teondra Silva; her grandchildren, Tyrone Silva, Johnae Robinson, Troy Silva, Jr., Di'Mayah and Marasiah Brown; her siblings; Jean Silva, John Silva, Jr., Jacquelyn Moreino and Debra Silva-Rocha, as well as her son-in-law Marcus Brown and brother and sister in-laws Joseph Moreino and Florence (April) Silva and many nieces and nephews.
She will be forever missed and always in our Hearts.
