My deepest condolences. I served in the Pittsburgh Mission and she was the greatest Mission Mom ever. From her shoulder pats to replace the hugs she wasn't allowed to give us. To teaching the only true way to play "Called to Serve" (with everything you've got). She was such a great inspiration. I do celebrate that at last she can return to the loving arms of Lowell. Or President Tingey as he will always be in my mind.

Sister Tingey showed me some much love as I served in the Pittsburgh mission. I’ll always remember the awesome energy as she played Called to Serve. I will always love President and Sister Tingey.

Dear Pew Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love
The Devey Family

As your daughter in laws grandma I am so happy to have known you and to know some of my great grandchildren had you for a grandma. You were a lot closer to Pleasant Grove than the other set of grandparents and they and I very much appreciated you for all your loving help with those children especially when they were little. Sad though we are at your passing what a glorious reunion you are having with your beloved husband.

What a beautiful obituary and I loved hearing that your nickname was squirt. I might use that sometime. That’s so cute. You were an exemplar mother and mothered all of us Missionaries in the PPM thank you so much for your service. You are loved.

My heart aches with you at the passing of Sister Tingey, and I wanted to reach out to send my deepest love and condolences.

Serving under President and Sister Tingey's leadership in the Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission remains one of the defining chapters of my life, and Sister Tingey was at the very heart of that experience. To me, she was the absolute epitome of grace, love, and undeniable spunk. She met every challenge with warmth, steady faith, and that bright, infectious energy that could lift an entire room of missionaries in an instant.

More than she probably ever realized, Sister Tingey left a permanent mark on who I became. Through her quiet strength, wisdom, and the genuine way she carried herself, she taught me how to truly respect and value womanhood. The lessons she modeled about dignity, kindness, and spiritual resilience have stayed with me through all the years since my mission, shaping how I view and honor the women in my life.

I know how deeply she loves. While words cannot take away the sting of this profound loss, I pray you feel the peace and comfort that only the Savior can provide, alongside the immense gratitude of the countless missionaries whose lives she shaped forever.

With heartfelt love, sympathy, and prayers,
Rick & Melyse Sparks

Cathy Tingey, The Tingey Grandma, had been such a visible and important part of the community in Herriman that it is hard to envision her not being a part of it. I’ll mostly remember her leading the music at church, carefully backing her car out of the driveway (much appreciated by the children and everyone in the neighborhood), and being an integral part of the Tingey family unit.

Cathy was a delightful person who cheerfully and faithfully served at the Pioneer Memorial Museum. Her cheerful countenance was appreciated by all who knew her. May the family all be comforted, knowing she is loved by many.

I worked at the Pioneer Memorial Museum with Cathy until she retired last year. She was very dedicated to her work in the History Department and had served there for many years. Such a lovely, kind Daughter of Utah Pioneers!

I had the great honor and blessing of serving with Cathy in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple for many years. She was such a delight. Her kindness and love for those she served was contagious. She was such a wonderful example of our Savior Jesus Christ and the love she had for Him. Her smile was so radiant and brought warmth to all those who were around her. Her love for the Temple was evident in her service for so many years. I love Cathy and I am so grateful for her beautiful example in my life. May you all feel the peace and love of our Savior as you honor such a sweet and elect daughter of God.

Sister Tingey was the best mission mom. She was always willing to help us in any way she could. I remember apartment checks and fashion advice, but especially her unwavering testimony of Christ. I am grateful to have served under her in the PPM. ❤️

Dear Tingey Family:
I learned to love your parents on a "Second Hand" basis through my Parents Pete and Juanita Davies, who lived in the Yuba City Area while your parent's were there. (I was already in College and so not around home during those years). My parent's so treasured the friendship, activities, and gospel learning that came with association with your parents. Mom was able to join your parents while they were serving over the PPM and it was truly a highlight for her to have that opportunity. They were always sharing the talks and lessons given by your parent's and in turn they truly edified my life and I come to love them as well. The last opportunity I had to cross paths with your mother was at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple a couple of years ago and it was how I envision the other side. Shear joy to know we were both on the path to return to our Father in Heaven and to rejoin those we love, who are already there and waiting. What peace and joy to understand that reunion and promise.

My heart and prayers are with you as a family. I hope that the lessons and memories can soften the loss. I hope you feel a level of gratitude to know how much they are both missed by so many because of the lives they lived.
Love Anita

Our deepest condolences are with your family. I have many impressionable moments with Sister Tingey. She always welcomed me into their mission home as a young girl with love, cheer and the tenderness of a mother. I felt loved, wanted and embraced as one of theirs the three years they spent in Pittsburgh. Memorable and sometimes less formal teaching moments to missionaries that I got to slip in on will always be with me. Sister Tingey was a Christlike example in every way. “What manner of men ought ye to be? Even as He is” “Be where you ought to be when you ought to be there” and “continue to be an example of obedience to Gods commandments” Thank you for your love and enduring example.

The Cloward Family wants to send their love to you all. We have some great memories when your family lived here in the Yuba City Stake years ago. We think of you guys often. 💞🥰 Love, Darlene, Shannon and Janee Cloward
