Tina Antonette Shiro Trojacek, 66, of College Station, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 14, 2026.

She was born on June 14, 1959, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Louis Shiro and Murrell Gentry, both of whom preceded her in death. Tina was raised in the Fort Worth area, where she built a life centered around hard work, family, and caring for others. She served the Fort Worth school district for many years as a bus driver and also worked in retail at local department stores. Tina was known for her dedication, kindness, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

The passing of the great love of her life, her husband Ernest Trojacek Sr., in 2008 marked the beginning of many health struggles for Tina. Despite enduring multiple illnesses over the years, she never stopped making time for her family, always offering love, support, and comfort no matter how she was feeling herself.

In her later years, Tina resided in several nursing facilities, where she formed meaningful friendships and left a lasting impression on staff and residents alike through her warmth, humor, and caring spirit.
