As the matriarch of the Langan family, she raised 6 children, had 10 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren who all loved her dearly.  She will always be remembered by her inimitable style, her wholesome laugh, sunny optimism and her dedication to the church, of which she was a patron and attended every week.  She impacted not only the friends and family she loved, but the entire community she called home.

Gallagher and St. John the Beloved elementary schools.  She was a member of RAMS (Run Away Mothers) and the SAGE Group of Holy Family Parish. In her leisure time, Tia enjoyed gardening, collecting teapots, as well as watching and supporting her grandchildren in their various interests and activities.
