Christina “Tina” Louise Weimer Hollars

Christina “Tina” Louise Weimer Hollars, 71, of Elkton MD, formerly of New London, PA went home to be with the Lord on March 9, 2024.

Tina was born in 1952, the daughter of Richard Weimer and Barbara Hackman Weimer of Chatham, PA.  Tina grew up in the Southern Chester County area and graduated from Avon Grove High School in 1970.

On Mother’s Day in 1968 Tina met the love of her life, David, they shared the rest of their lives together raising their three children and then adoring their grandchildren.  Tina and Dave were high school sweethearts, best friends, and amazing partners in life. After his passing, Tina would carry on her life without Dave for 14 years but never stopped missing, cherishing, and loving him.

Tina was a Wife and Mom first and foremost.  A fierce advocate for her children, she instilled in them resilience, strength, and a love that would carry them through their lives.  She took exceptional pride in her children, grandchildren, and her home.  She welcomed many into her home and heart and was a source of strength, a listening ear and friend to not only her children but their friends as well.  Tina loved spending time with her family. She and Dave would spend summers on the Chesapeake boating and winters snowmobiling in the mountains of Lycoming County.  These times were filled with laughter, good food and drink.  The best of times filled with the best of people!

Tina never met a stranger and we were always amused by her stories of individuals she met, comforted or ran into at the grocery store who would tell her their life story. She was funny, witty, and tough as nails.  Tina was strong in her convictions, a defender for those who couldn’t defend themselves and would not hesitate to stand up for her beliefs, her children and those she loved.  She was a force to be reckoned with, a beautiful, well-dressed force.  Tina was beautiful inside and out and her taste was impeccable.  Whether decorating her home or dressing for the grocery store, she was always perfect.  Her ability to accessorize and put together anything from everyday clothes attire to home furnishings and Holiday decorations, was unmatched.

Later in life, Tina would become “Gigi” to some of her favorite people.  She was the unconventional, cool, wisdom-dropping grandmother who held so much pride and adoration for her grandchildren. She would insist on keeping all traditions alive and would ensure the annual Christmas Sweater cookie decorating championship was taken with the seriousness it deserved. She loved animals and her 4-legged children and grandchildren brought so much joy to her life.  Whether meandering through the countryside with Dave and her Yorkies, taking them on horse and buggy rides in Lancaster or teaching her 4-legged grandchildren Milo, Lucas, and Griffin, how to sing – her joy was boundless for these special companions.

Tina is survived by and will continue to be honored and loved by her children; Gwendolyn Hollars Sensenig of West Grove PA, Heather Hollars and her husband George Blake of Landenberg, PA and Brent Hollars of Landenberg, PA; her grandchildren, Savannah Sensenig, Tristan Sensenig, Wyatt Sensenig, Viviana Hollars and Avalon Hollars; her Sister Barbara Ann Kinnamon, a host of nieces and nephews who she adored and loved; as well as her late Husband’s siblings who she thought of as her own brothers and sisters.

Tina is, at last, with her husband Dave, as he preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Gwendolyn Helen Weimer, her parents, Richard and Barbara Weimer and her beloved puppies Puddin, Cassie and Milo.
