Christina Coleen (Schafer) Doellgast

Tina Doellgast, 47, of Fairview, North Carolina, passed away bravely on May 27, 2026, after meeting breast cancer with extraordinary courage, grace, and a warrior spirit. She was held in the arms of the love she built her life around.

Tina was angelic in presence — a woman of rare beauty, depth, and gentleness. She moved through the world like a dancer, with a softness that belied her strength and a quiet wisdom that made others feel safe in her company. She was a devoted mother to her two beautiful daughters, Sierra and Oriah, and becoming their mother was one of the greatest desires and joys of her life.

Tina shared a profound love with her husband, Hans. Their bond was a partnership of devotion, love, and deep commitment — the kind of love that made their home feel like a sanctuary. Together they created a life rooted in nature, family, and connection. The home Hans built for their family in Fairview became the place where Tina’s spirit felt most at peace: surrounded by trees, waterfalls, and the quiet beauty she cherished.

Alongside Hans, Tina helped shape Jade Mountain Builders, a company that reflected their shared values of integrity, artistry, and heart. While she played a meaningful role in the business, what mattered most to her was the sense of family they cultivated. She cared deeply for the team — offering guidance, kindness, and a steady presence that made everyone feel seen and supported.

Tina was a surfer who found freedom in the waves of Costa Rica, a dancer who carried rhythm in her bones, and a woman whose playfulness and grace lived side by side. She loved the hush of forests, the music of water, and the stillness that allowed her spirit to breathe. She was a devoted friend, a deep feeler, and someone who gave of herself quietly and completely.

She is held in love by her husband, Hans; her daughters, Sierra and Oriah; her parents, Bill and Cheryl Schafer; and her mother‑in‑law, Janet Doellgast — all of whom she loved deeply and who walked beside her with unwavering devotion.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, beauty, and presence — in her family, her friends, and the countless lives she touched simply by being who she was.

Tina will be remembered for her kindness, her devotion, her strength, and the gentle way she made the world feel softer.
