Tina was a graduate of Washington High School, class of 1978. She was first employed by K-Mart in South Bend, then McKinley Hardware and Tru Value Hardware before she began working for the Wholesale Club (now Sam's Club) in Mishawaka. From there, Tina began working at the University of Notre Dame where she assisted with the production of meal plans and I.D. badges for the staff and students. Her final job at the University was as Administrative Assistant to the Band, a job she truly loved. In her spare time, she enjoyed photography, attending auctions, and shopping from QVC. She also loved to watch her kids perform with the Penn High School Marching Band, and watching her "adopted" kids play in the University of Notre Dame Marching Band. "LET'S GO IRISH!!!" The Durski family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Rudolph Navari and his nursing staff, especially Diane, at the Center for Cancer Care for all of their help, care and concern for Tina during her time of need.
