Mary Christine Pleger, known to many as Tina, passed away January 8, 2025, surrounded by her loving family and friends; she was 62. Born and raised in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Patricia Oppel. She shared over 38 years of marriage, memories and love with her loving husband William “Bill” Pleger.
Many remember Tina for her dedicated years as an administrator at Family Eye Group of Lancaster. In her free time, she was an avid crafter selling her wares at local craft shows and on Etsy. She enjoyed creating Christmas decorations, personalized tumblers and home décor. She could strike up a conversation with anyone, and never met a stranger. Her friends were lifelong, and she treasured their regular get-togethers. She adored being a Grandma and was a chaperone for her granddaughters marching band trips for 8 years and participated with Friends of Music.
Tina’s love will live on in her husband Bill, their son, Brandon Pleger, husband of Tiffany of Lancaster, grandchildren, Lexus, Santos and Analicia Velazquez, a great grandson, Liam Ewing, and her sisters, Deb, wife of the late Dave Wagner, and Jessica, wife of Scott May, all of Lancaster, as well as countless friends. She was preceded in passing by her brother Richard Oppel.
