With sadness we announce the passing of Tina Roche on September 2, 2026. She was 80 years of age.
Tina was an active member and volunteer with the Royal Canadian Legion. Supporting and giving back to Veterans was very important to her. She gave her time generously and took great pride in helping others. Tina enjoyed reading and thrifting in the Crowsnest Pass, but more than anything, she loved her husband, Lance. The two shared a special bond, and her happiest moments were spent with him —whether on a drive through the country or heading off on a motorcycle road trip, she cherished each moment.
Those who knew Tina will remember that she could be shy at first, but once she got to know you, her wonderful sense of humour and great laugh would shine through. She was exceptionally neat and organized, liking things just so. She had three fans in her room going 24/7 and she was still hot as heck! Tina’s kindness, laughter, and love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
She was predeceased by her husband, Lance; and is survived by three siblings and their extended families; and dear friend, Doug Brown. Many thanks to the exceptional staff at Peaks To Pines Senior Lodge and the Crowsnest Pass Health Centre.
With respect for Tina’s wishes, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Veterans Association Food Bank (10 – 820, 28 St. NE Calgary, AB T2A 6K1, or www.veteransassociationfoodbank.ca).
