Tonya is described jokingly by her children as the most mean, loving person you’ll ever meet in your life. She loved her children and grandchildren more than life. Her dogs had her heart though and they were her best friends. Her children say she was the strongest woman they knew. She loved nature, gardening, and planting trees. She was a beautiful soul and will be missed.
