Tina Gustafson, 66 year old resident of Pierz, MN, passed away Monday, September 22, 2025 at the St. Cloud Hospital.

Tina was born on March 22, 1959, in Billings, MT. She moved around quite a bit throughout her life, but her love for her home state of Montana stayed strong. Tina enjoyed cooking and baking and worked various jobs doing both throughout her life. Her love for her grandchildren was unmatched. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and she enjoyed her cross-country adventures with her significant other, Chip. Tina was known by all as independent and strong-willed, yet she loved with her whole heart. She was a light to everyone she met, and she rarely ever knew a stranger.

Tina is survived by her significant other, Chip Hayes; children, Brad (Nicole) Hatter, Jared (Jena) Hatter, Katey (Joey) Bailey; grandchildren, Jackson, Reaetta, Quade, Sawyer, Weston, Garrett, Allie, and Natilynn.

She was preceded in death by her dad, John Huft; mom, Ruth Huft; and son, Dalton Gustafson.
