Albertina Jefferson

On June 20, 1955, Albertina Marie joined the loving family of Gloria and Raymond R. Moore, in Chicago, Ill. Her older brother Raymond was curious as to what it would like to have a baby sister. He was not disappointed. Albertina was an energetic little girl, smart and full of fun. She was a song bird and a blessing to the family.

In 1967, Gloria and her two children moved to Denver at the request of her father and siblings, following her divorced. They were embraced by a large number of family that made them feel right at home. Tina continued her education at Morey Jr. High School and Manual High School.

Tina and brother Raymond received a great gift after moving to Denver when their Mother met and married the love of her life, Olian Stevenson. Steve, as he was called, was an exceptional husband and step-father. He took to Tina, affectionately calling her, his "Chocolate China Doll." This new family unit grow very close, sharing life and love. In 1982, Mom Gloria and Dad Steve moved to Marshall, Texas. When Tina went for a visit she decided to also relocate to Texas for a change of pace.

After moving to Texas, Tina met and married Luther Jefferson. They did not have any children. She stayed in Texas for about 15 years before going to New York for a short time to be with her grandmother. She returned to Denver where she worked as a Lab Technician and Patient Care Assistant until her health began to fail.

Tina loved to sing and dance. She was the life of the party with never a dull moment. She was passionate about cooking but more that cooking, TT could EAT. Ray would joke with her about her socks falling down around her ankles, but not an ounce did she gain. Tina had a sense of style, fashion and beauty that to this day still holds weight. Tina enjoyed the company of lots of friends and suitors who were drawn to her vivacious personality and beauty.

God, Family and friends was Tina's priority. Tina studied with mother and stepdad with the Jehovah's Witnesses. She loved the Lord and was baptized at St. Stephen Baptist Church on 2013. She adored her nieces and nephews and she would travel to see her brother and his family in Little Rock, Ar. She always cherished the time that she spent with her family.
