Mary Armstrong

Mary Christina Armstrong (Houck), called Tina by almost everyone who knew her, passed away suddenly on July 8th 2021. She was 53 years old.

She is survived by her husband Johnny Armstrong, her daughter Victoria, her son John, her two grandsons Atticus and Dave, as well as her brothers Allan and Stephen Houck, her sister Diane Merritt, and her nieces and nephews.

Tina was loving, kind, thoughtful, and one of the strongest people I've had the pleasure to know. She raised my brother and myself, while still adjusting to her diagnosis of gastroparesis. She was always there if I needed help or advice, she would do what she could to make sure we were fed, and clothed. She filled her DVR with cartoons to watch with her grand babies, and always kept snacks on hand for them. She shared her love of books with me, and her love food with John, her masterchef.

No matter what obstacles my mother faced, she held strong in her faith in Jesus Christ, and was willing to share her faith with anyone and everyone, offering prayers and support to those who needed it.

She will be dearly missed. The family is holding a celebration of life ceremony at the town square in Woodsboro Texas on Saturday July 24th, at 10:45, with lunch to follow at Tuttles.
