Tina Denise Densberger's Obituary
Tina Denise Densberger was born on November 18, 1967 in Bassett, Nebraska to Vernal and Kenneth Densberger. She departed from this life on March 24, 2026 in Shamrock, TX.
Tina was a giver. She gave her time, her energy and her heart and soul for the ones she loved. She knew how to make you feel seen. If she knew you and loved you, she wanted to feed you, entertain you, give you the most thoughtful gifts, and make sure you felt loved.
Tina dedicated nearly 20 years of her life working as a correctional officer, where she served with strength, compassion, and commitment. Most recently, she devoted her time to caring for her mother. She had a true love of music of all kinds and found joy in sharing it with those around her.
She dearly loved the grandchildren in her life
and was the sweetest grandmother. She always kept the freezer full of popsicles, she kept chalk, bubbles, and kiddie pools ready to go in summer. She was not going to go a warm day without a watering hole ready.
Tina passed time with her husband, Mike, cruising back roads, lounging in the garden and in the pool, making the most grand plans they had no intention of completing, in the kitchen cooking the spiciest foods, visiting friends around the panhandle. They thrived in each other’s company.
She was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth.
Her survivors include her mother, Vernal; her husband, Michael Cummings; her sisters Tracy Bacon and husband, John, and Tammy Sutton; her son, Jadon Watson and wife, Kyirah; children she raised with love, Sierra Hartman and husband, Charlie, Jodi Cummings, Logan Cummings and wife, Misty, and Rusty Cummings; grandchildren, Arlock, Enzo, Benjamin, Olivia, Emilia, Blaine, Aubrey, Axel, and Wyatt. She is also survived by nieces and nephews whom she loved deeply.
It is an impossible task to name every heart that Tina touched in her lifetime. The number of lives she brightened is exponential. The love she shared so freely will be forever remembered.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
