Tina Marie Boerner Parrent, 59, of Pilot Point, TX, passed away Sunday, January 21, 2024 in Denton, TX. Tina was born March 10, 1964 in Denton, TX to Daniel Thomas and Glenda Lounell (Cooper) Boerner. She graduated from Pilot Point Selz High School in 1982 where she was involved in basketball, volleyball, 4H and the captain of the drill team. Upon graduation she immediately started her career with Presbyterian Hospital now known as Texas Health Resources. For forty-two years she was dedicated to her career starting in administration, later becoming the secretary to the Vice President of the hospital and then ending as the Executive Assistant to the CEO of Texas Health Resources. Tina never met a stranger and welcomed everyone with the biggest smile. She was very dedicated to her family and always willing to help anyone in need. Tina married the love of her life, Bobby, on December 10th, 1988. They just celebrated thirty-five wonderful years of marriage. Her proudest moments were when her two children were born, Alan Wade in 1992 and Abby Marie in 1996. She was very involved in the PTA, school athletics, and any activities where the kids were involved. She was a lifelong member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. She was thrilled to welcome Dr. Abby to the family as Alan’s wife on June 8, 2019. Family was utmost important to her. She wore many titles proudly… daughter, mom, wife, sister, sister-in-law, Godmother, and friend. Her favorite name though was probably Aunt Tina. At any gathering you could count on her to be the life of the party but also the listening ear with the best advice and wisdom. She was so very proud of each of her 10 nieces and 9 nephews. In Tina’s free time she was always looking for an adventure. She loved traveling abroad. She was able to visit 15 different countries with family and the best of friends. She enjoyed road trips to some of her favorite places; Stillwater, OK, Bella Vista, AR, and Colorado Springs to visit her son and daughter-in-law. Tina and Abby would go on mother/daughter trips with friends and she enjoyed girl weekends with her class of 82 girls. Her most recent favorite form of traveling was spending weeks together with her husband and sweet friends LaTisha and Dan Marick in the RV traveling the United States making numerous memories. If someone made any mention of a trip, she was the first to have her bags packed and her Dramamine in hand.
