Tyne grew up on the south side of Youngstown and made that side of town her home for 68 years, having graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School in 1974.

Tyne became obsessed with the Weimaraner dog breed when she got her first love "Gizmo" in 1986.  She had raised, bred, trained, and exhibited several top-quality show and agility dogs over many years, under the Honey Weimaraners prefix.

Tyne joined the Mahoning-Shenango Kennel Club in the early 90s and quickly rose to leadership roles. She became the President of the Club a few years later, a post she held until her death in September 2025.  Under her leadership and direction, the club flourished and exceeded their membership goals and monetary contributions to local animal charities around the valley.

Tyne was a dedicated, hard worker with the Kennel club and also Youngstown All-Breed Training Club, where she was an agility class instructor. 

She is terribly missed by her colleagues in the fancy and many friends and family members.
