Tina Maria (Carruba) Falls was born on January 31, 1937, in Totz, Ky and passed away peacefully October 1, 2025, at her daughter's home in Cumberland, Ky. Tina was a long-time resident of the Tri Cities area. She also lived and worked 25 years in Grand Blanc, MI, then returned to Benham in 1999. Tina was a great cook and loved spending time with her family and friends. She was smart, witty, independent, and her ability to get things done was remarkable for her age.

Tina was so loved and will be greatly missed by her children, Denise Wright (Johnny), Cumberland, KY, Doll Evans (Randy), Grand Blanc, MI, Rae Eddy (Howard), Swartz Creek, MI, Joe Carruba, Flint, MI and John Carruba, Burton, MI.
