Christina M. Bresnahan, 65
August 23, 2022
Tina you entered my life at a very young age and for the last 45 years you have been my confidant, my strength, and most of all my happiness.
Always generous and caring to those that needed it. You are the mother of four and yet the mother to many. So many young adults found their way to our home for one of your meals and a comforting conversation with you. Rest in peace knowing that they all remember and love you.
On earth you were a special individual, and I am happy there will be no more pain as you move to heaven. I live as a broken man, but I will always treasure those last hours we spent hugging and holding hands as you moved on, I will always love you and will never forget you -Your loving husband Steve.
Tina was born in Amsterdam New York to Irene Carline (Rizzo) and Joseph Carline. She worked her whole life as a Pharmaceutical Representative, but her greatest success was as a mother to Sean Bresnahan (Tommy McCue), Brendan Bresnahan, Marissa Bresnahan, and Connor Bresnahan. She also had a special place in her heart for Kyle States. She was preceded in death by her brother Joseph Carline Jr. and leaves behind sisters Cathy Weiss (Jeff), Caryn Kent (Bill), brother Chris Carline, and several nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA on Sunday August 28; Visitation 12N-2PM, Remembrance Service 2PM-3PM.
A second memorial service will be held on September 10 in Amsterdam New York at Riley Mortuary Inc. 110 Division St., Visitation 12N-2PM, Remembrance Service 2PM-3PM

I’m sadened that I just learned of Tina’s passing from one of my business associates. My condolences and prayers go out to your family. I met Tina 17-years ago when I first started out in pharmaceutical sales, and she was always super friendly, kind hearted, a great mentor, and willing to help. I moved on to a different industry over a decade ago, and we eventually lost touch. May she rest in peace with our heavenly father.

Steve and family, I was so sorry to hear about Tina. It is heartbreaking for all who knew and loved her. She was a bright light to all who met her. I was blessed to meet her in our days in pharma as co- workers. We had so many good times through the years and I can still hear her infectious laugh and for that I am grateful. Her family was her heart and soul and she always talked about you with such loving words. Wishing you and the family peace and love. Rest in peace my feisty, funny, kind, loving friend, you will be missed but never forgotten. ❤️ Laurel Bell

Tina’s suffering in this world is over, but her spirit lives on through many. I was unable to attend her service today as hoped due to being positive for Covid, but was sure to say a whole rosary for her family. She made the best lasagna and meatballs. I am sure she is now in the arms of our Lord and Blessed Mother in Heaven along with her many predeceased loved ones cooking a large meal for all. Love, Fred and Gloria Pamoretti

Tina….
I don’t know where to begin…but like so many others have already said…. you were indeed special. My big sister…you taught me so much growing up and I idolized you. I learned about clothes, fashion, makeup, that only a big sister could teach. You always had such an easy way about you that drew people in. I always admired this about you! I watched how you juggled working full time and raising a wonderful family, all while making it look so effortless. I still remember all the family gatherings we had, always consisting of music and great Italian food. I know you are finally at peace now, dancing a good disco, sporting the latest fashion, and making delicious meatballs! Give Joey and mom and dad a huge hug for me!! Please visit me! I love you dearly ❤️ your sister Cathy

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember as a kid, going to your house with my parents and Mrs. Bresnahan always offered to make me separate food. She specifically made me fajitas one time, and they were absolutely delicious! I always looked forward to trick or treating at your house every year, and my kids and I loved being able to continue that tradition with them! She was always so kind and welcoming, and she will be greatly missed! We will keep your family in our prayers. Love, Rachel, Justin, Kelsey, and JJ Johnston
