A Life Taken Far Too Soon, Remembering “Tinka” With Love.

There are moments when the heart struggles to accept what the mind already knows. Today, we remember “Tinka,” a 27-year-old woman whose life came to a heartbreaking end following a shooting in Freemansburg, Pennsylvania. Her passing has left behind a painful emptiness for those who knew and loved her, as a young life filled with possibilities was suddenly and tragically taken away.

According to authorities, Freemansburg Borough Police responded to a residence in the 20 block of Market Street after a 911 call was received.

Both victims were transported to St. Luke’s Fountain Hill for medical care, but despite efforts to save her, Tinka was pronounced deceased at approximately 7:16 a.m.

At only 27 years old, Tinka still had countless chapters ahead of her. There were memories she should have had the chance to create, celebrations she should have experienced, places she could have visited, and dreams she deserved the opportunity to pursue.

Her loved ones are now left holding onto the moments that cannot be replaced—the conversations, laughter, photographs, familiar memories, and the little things that made her presence special.

As authorities continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, those mourning Tinka are facing the much more personal reality of saying goodbye to someone they cared about.

Her life should never be remembered only for the tragedy that ended it. She was a person who mattered, someone whose presence touched the lives around her, and someone whose memory will continue through the people who loved her.

May her family and friends find strength and comfort during this heartbreaking time. May they continue to speak her name, share her memories, and keep her spirit close to their hearts.

Rest peacefully, Tinka. 🕊️🌹

In Loving Memory of Jimmy and Mindy Brugger, A Beloved Couple Whose Hearts Were Devoted to Saving Others.

Some lives are measured not by the years they spend on earth, but by the lives they touch along the way. Jimmy Brugger and his beloved wife, Mindy, will be remembered as two extraordinary souls whose compassion, courage, and dedication brought hope to countless people. Their heartbreaking deaths have left a deep void in the Highland and Hudson Valley communities, where their years of service, kindness, and devotion to others created a legacy that will not easily fade.

Jimmy, 66, spent decades answering calls when others needed help most. His journey in the fire service began as a volunteer with the Plattekill Fire Department in 1987 before leading to a distinguished career with the Poughkeepsie Fire Department. After more than 27 years of professional service, he retired in 2025, but his commitment to helping others never ended. He continued volunteering with the Milton Fire Department and served as a respected fire instructor, passing his knowledge and experience on to others.

Mindy shared that same spirit of compassion. As a certified EMT and CPR instructor, she dedicated herself to protecting and helping those in need.

Together, the couple became an example of service and selflessness. In 2016, while preparing to travel from Stewart International Airport, Jimmy and Mindy helped save the life of a man suffering a massive heart attack. Their quick response and determination helped give him another chance at life.

Jimmy also bravely advocated for greater recognition of cancer among firefighters after battling prostate cancer himself. His work reflected his determination to protect those who had spent their lives protecting others.

Today, Jimmy and Mindy are remembered with love, gratitude, and profound sorrow. Their story is one of service, devotion, courage, and compassion—a legacy that will continue through every person they helped and every life they touched.

May Jimmy and Mindy Brugger rest peacefully together. May their memories forever remain a blessing to all who knew and loved them.
