Christina Antonia Eugenie Mook Dodenbier was born in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands to Eugenie Louis Mook and Antonia Florentina Peters, and was the oldest of three children. She had a happy childhood living in the small towns of Ede and Apeldoorn. She loved playing with her sister Thea and brother Archie and visiting her grandparents and aunts and uncles in Amsterdam.

Her memories of living through World War 2 where they were under German occupation included being hungry most of the time, often riding her bike into the country at night to get food from farmers, hearing bombers overheard and praying that they wouldn’t hit her town. She would light up when retelling the day American tanks drove through the town and they were liberated. She was always thankful for those soldiers.

She met her husband, Robert Dodenbier, when her family moved next door to his. He became the love of her life, introduced her to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which she eventually joined, and immigrated in 1950 to Salt Lake City, Utah to be married in the Salt Lake Temple.

Tina and Rob created a happy home for 7 children in Holladay, Utah, later moving to Littleton, Colorado, and then ending up in Ogden, Utah. She loved to cook and clean and created a home that was always organized and welcoming. She served in the Primary, Relief Society, and Sunday School, loved getting together with her Dutch Bunch and served in the Ogden Temple for many years. She served those around her and will always be known for her cute accent and kindness.

Her dear husband passed away 23 years ago and she is now right where she wants to be...next to him again.

Christina is survived by son Robert (Wendy) Dodenbier, daughter Yvonne, son Bruce (Cindie) Dodenbier, daughter Christina (Kevin) Clark, daughter-in-law Kristi, daughter Jennifer (David) Casey, son Jeff (Jana) Dodenbier, as well as many grandchildren and grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Robert Dodenbier and son Don.

Christina will be remembered Monday, Dec. 20, 2021 at 12 PM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1401 Country Hills Drive, Ogden, Ut. She will be buried in the Memorial Lakeview Cemetery, 1640 Lakeview Drive, Bountiful.

The few times I met Tina she was always so kind and sweet. The times I went to her home, she made me feel like I was royalty who had come to visit! Always offered a snack and some juice. One time staying over, we had to get up really early to leave and she had been up setting out a breakfast for us! A variety of things to choose from! She must’ve been up at 5:30 doing that! She was a lovely, kind, sweet and devoted woman. An elect lady.

A Mother's love is alive forever. In the lessons she taught, in the patient she gave, and in the heart of the children she raised. Our prayers go out to you in this difficult time. She will be remembered gratefully always.
