Zerma Tina Deatrick

In Loving Memory of Zerma Tina Deatrick February 21, 1973 - July 26, 2023 Zerma Tina Deatrick, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, departed from this world on July 26, 2023, leaving behind cherished memories and a profound impact on the lives of those who knew her. Born on February 21, 1973, Tina's journey was marked with love, compassion, and a zest for life that touched everyone around her. Tina's dedication to her family was unparalleled. She was a loving mother to her son, Alante Deatrick, whom she cherished above all else. Tina was a pillar of strength and a source of unwavering support for Alante, always encouraging him to pursue his dreams and be the best version of himself. She was the devoted daughter of Huong Tran and Step Daughter of Dan Eikhoff, who was blessed to have Tina as her loving and caring child. Tina's bond with her mother was profound and enduring, exemplifying the true essence of love and unity. Tina was the middle child, sandwiched between her youngest brother, Tony (Linh Le) Tran, and her oldest brother, Hoang (Vickie) Phan. The strong bond they shared was a testament to the love and unity within their family. Tina's passing leaves a void in the hearts of her family that can never be filled, as she was not only a sister but also a pillar of strength and a confidante to her siblings. Throughout her life, Tina demonstrated an exceptional work ethic and dedication to her career. For 14 years, she contributed her skills and expertise at Chrysler, where she made lasting impressions on her colleagues and friends. After her time at Chrysler, Tina pursued her passion for nail care and beauty, working as a talented and skilled manicurist, spreading smiles and confidence among her clients. Outside of work, Tina found joy in her favorite activities. She had a passion for fishing, finding tranquility in nature's embrace while casting her line. She also delighted in the graceful art of ballroom dancing, floating across the floor with elegance and grace, captivating those who watched her dance. Tina's unconditional love extended to her four-legged friends as well. She was a devoted "dog mother" who had an unwavering affection for dogs. Her heart was open to these loyal companions, and they, too, found comfort and warmth in her loving presence. Friends and family are invited to pay their last respects at Wm. Sullivan and Son Funeral Home, 705 W. 11 Mile Rd. (four blocks east of Woodward) in Royal Oak.
