Tina Ann Criswell

Tina Ann Criswell, age 52 made her entry to heaven on Friday, November 27, 2020 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She was born on Wednesday, September 11, 1968 in Moab, Utah to her parents Franklin Bell Jr. and Oleatha Shayne (Minks) Bell. Tina met the absolute love of her life, Jeffery Allen Criswell on November 22, 1989. They married on February 11, 1995. The two of them loved each other in a fairytale movie kind of way. With the blending of their lives brought one son and four daughters. Her biggest love in life was her grandchildren; they all had such a special place in her heart. She cherished the time that she had with them and always spoiled them with love. Tina was one of the most accepting, loving, selfless and frugal individuals. As long as the people she loved were happy, then she was happy. In her free time, she enjoyed watching her TV shows, spending time with her family, and cuddling up to her dog, Boomer. She would always take care of others before herself. She always wanted to make sure everyone else was happy and fed before she was. Tina loved the color blue and loved red roses. In the early 2000s she grew a beautiful rose bush in the front of her home in Wagoner, Oklahoma that she was so proud of, that survived until she relocated to Coweta in 2018. She had a great sense of humor and always wanted to be laughing. The smallest things made her smile. Tina was a light in so many lives, and she will be cherished and greatly missed by many. As Tina always ended a conversation, "I love you, goodbye". Tina is greeted in heaven by her husband Jeffery Allen Criswell; sister Lynette Christensen; and mother-in-law Gail Criswell. Left to cherish her memory are her children Mandie Bell, Karissa Burnside and her husband Michael, Megan Criswell and her partner Antonio, Brandie Criswell and her partner Dacota, and Bradley Criswell and his wife Amanda; Grandchildren Emma June Burnside, Landry Malachi Farris, and Harper Gail-Alys Clemmerson; Parents Franklin Bell Jr. and Oleatha Shayne Bell; father-in-law William Criswell; brother Franklin Bell III and his wife Deb; along with many other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
