Tina Ward was an exemplary wife, mother, and nurse. She gave so much of her light and love to others through her service of 30+ years as a paramedic and a critical care nurse. She lost her life doing what she loved following a devastating plane crash on the night of December 27th, 2021, in El Cajon, California. She and her crew were flying back after transporting a patient that day, and sadly she never made it back home to us.

 

To all that loved her, Tina was known as “Mama Tee,” and she touched the hearts of everyone she met through her acts of love, compassion, and kindness. Her daughters and loving husband would like to memorialize her legacy and her unparalleled selflessness and mentorship through the Tina Ward Memorial Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will be dedicated to the next generation of first responders to ensure her legacy will shine on for years to come within the EMS community.

 

We ask in lieu of flowers or funeral donations please donate to this fund in her memory. All funds donated will go directly toward scholarships for underrepresented students working on furthering their careers in EMS.

 

Thank you all so much for your prayers of love and support. Our hearts share in the grief with the families and friends of the other crew members from Flight Crew N88OZ. We appreciate those who have shared our Mother's story and who will continue on her legacy of always smiling, always showing love, and always putting others first.

 

Thank you again,

Joe, Hannah, Lauryn, & Megan Ward
