Theresa "Tina" Marie Belarde

Theresa Belarde aka Tina was born April 21, 1956, at Elmendorf Hospital in Alaska. She grew up in the Sand Lake area of Anchorage and was a very cute Alaskan girl. Tina was raised with two sisters and a brother, Lisa, Tammy and Perry, and her parents, Don and Lois Ingalls. Tina graduated from Dimond High School where she made good friends for life. After graduating from High School, she spent a year living in Gold Creek with a trapper friend accessible only by the Alaska Railroad. After that Tina worked on the North Slope during the Alyeska pipeline construction, after a couple years she moved back to Anchorage and met Ken Boyle married and had two children, Kristopher and Amanda.  They lived in Anchorage and then moved to Happy Valley Ninilchik, Alaska. She left Ken after four years and moved back to Anchorage and went to work for her mother's business. After a couple years she met John Belarde who also had went to Dimond High School but did not know each other. They got married and had two boys, Dalton and Jesse. They lived in Midtown then bought a house up in Rabbit Creek and raised their four children.

Tina could cook very good, a super wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt and grandmother. Always buying the best shoes and clothes for her children. Very selfless and putting everyone around her first. She could sew quilts amazingly and was so much fun to be with snowmachining, camping, hiking deep into the forest, a real Alaskan all the way to the end of the earth. One of her happiest times was her yearly trips to her parent's condo in Maui. Tina worked for DCS for 35 years and was part-owner of the company for 30 years.
