Our mother, Tina Ann Hilliard Maldonado, sadly passed away at age 51 near her hometown of Huntington, Utah on November 21st, 2023.

Tina was born to Wesley Paul Hilliard and Kathleen Ann Bone Hilliard on April 21st, 1972, in Puyallup, Washington. Shortly after birth, she relocated to Utah. Tina had a strong love for life and loved ones. Growing up, she was often seen packing a kitty under one arm and sucking her thumb with the other. Later in life, she was always known to push hard for family to gather. Pressing for barbecues and celebrating events. She had a sick, sort of twisted sense of humor and a love of true crime. She spent her free time reading Dean Koontz and Stephen King or you could catch her making a quilt or baking some zucchini bread from the zucchini she grew herself. The loves of her life were her two grandchildren, Jahir Prieto and Neeko Maldonado and no one could say differently.

Tina is survived by her three loving and tightly bonded children, the oldest, only, and favorite daughter, Marisela Ontiveros; sons, Enrrique Maldanado and Ivan Leon; brother, Titus Paul Hilliard; father, Wesley Paul Hilliard; and mother, Kathleen Ann Bone Olofson.

She was preceded in passing by her soulmate and life-long partner, Jesus Maldonado; sister, Tonia Dawn Hilliard Spooner; and grandmother, Lorene Majors Lopez.
