Christina A. “Tina” (Post) Martin – 83, of Andover, formerly of Salem, NH, Stoneham and North Reading, died Friday, August 17, 2018 at Wingate of Haverhill.

Born in Chelsea, MA on December 20, 1934, she was the daughter of the late John Post and Elizabeth (Anderson) Croswell.

Tina loved social events with friends and her family. She enjoyed going on trips, playing cards, going to casinos, watching The Gronk or simply going to breakfast with her loved ones.  She loved to make people happy, she was very giving and loved to laugh and reminisce.
