Saratoga Resident Tina Favaloro Remembered For Warm Spirit

Editor's Note: The following death announcement was made by Hobee's California Restaurants and shared with Saratoga Patch. It's been edited for brevity and clarity.

We are sad to report that former employee Tina Favaloro passed away the morning of Tuesday, April 2 in Saratoga in the company of her loving family. She had battled cancer since last spring.

Tina worked at Hobee’s Pruneyard in Campbell as a server and manager for more than a dozen years.

She was a seasoned restaurant pro and performed her duties with confidence and an ever-present smile.

Tina loved her customers and always took extra time with her regulars. Her hearty laugh could often be heard echoing through the restaurant. She was a favorite of co-workers who found her warm spirit to be inspiring and infectious. 

A few weeks ago, we presented Tina with our annual Hobee's Hero Award in recognition of her strength in the face of adversity.

All of us at Hobee’s will miss her dearly. We send out our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to her daughter, Gianna, and the rest of her family.
