Born on December 23rd, 1945 in Naples, Italy to the late Gennaro Comune, Francesca Dente Comune was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, and mother.

In 1962, she married John W. Kessinger, and together they built a life filled with joy, raising 4 children. Tina moved to America in 1966, where she taught herself the English language by watching various American soap operas. She loved spending sunny days at the beach and pool with family and friends, playing slot machines at a casino, window shopping at the mall for hours, and family dinners on Sunday. She loved to dance and was the life of the party. In 1987, she started working at McDonalds and was a Team Leader for over 30 years, retiring in 2020.
