Tina Marie Kowlsen, born on April 1, 1957, passed away unexpectedly on January 9, 2025. She was the daughter of the late John Anthony Maggio and the late Margaret Joan Wells. She was predeceased by her adoptive father Dominic Anthony Vigliotti, all of Bradford, PA.

Tina was preceded in death by her husband, Michael Kowlsen, of Bradford, PA, as well as her brother, John Anthony Vigliotti, of Atlanta, GA. She is survived by her beloved siblings, sister, Angela (John) Pearson, of Fishersville, VA; her brothers, Dave (Tammy)Vigliotti, of Lilburn, GA; Dan (Karen) Vigliotti, of Braselton, GA, and her brothers-in-law Mark (Stacey) Kowlsen, of Jacksonville, PA and Matthew Kowlsen, of St. Augustine, FL.

Although Tina and Mike did not have children of their own, she was adored by her many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews and was an integral part of family gatherings.

Tina graduated from Bradford High School and from Phillipsburg State General Hospital School of Nursing in Pennsylvania. She later completed her bachelor's degree from Nova University, as well as her M.B.A., from American Sentinel University.

Although she loved her initial career as a labor and delivery nurse, ultimately she and her husband built a successful health insurance administration company, in Jacksonville, FL. Case Management Consultants served many prestigious clients such as the Jacksonville Jaguars. She continued working in case management for the remainder of her career.

Tina professed her faith in her Lord Jesus Christ as a young teen and continued to grow in her walk with the Lord. For the past 10 years, Tina served as an active member at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church of America, in Waynesboro, VA. Hosting women's Bible studies, preparing meals for those in need, serving on the hospitality committee, and participating in mission trips to a Guatemalan orphanage, were just a few of her many contributions.

She enjoyed painting, flower arranging, gardening, decorating, and creating a warm and welcoming home, but she will be most remembered for her fun personality and infectious laugh. She was loved by everyone who knew her, especially her King Charles Spaniel, Buddy, who was her ever faithful companion.

Tina was pure joy to be around and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

A memorial service will be held on February 8 at 2:00 at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, in Waynesboro, VA, officiated by Reverend Kyle Kockler. To view the memorial service on livestream, go to facebook.com of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church in Waynesboro, VA
