Tonya was a 2002 graduate of Clark County R-1 High School. She was employed as a CNA at the Clark County Nursing Home.
Her daughter, Tinslee and her nephew, Derek, were her pride and joy. She was a devoted mother and worked very hard to build a life for herself and Tinslee. Tonya had a great smile and personality. She would light up the room when she walked in and made the day better for others. She was giving and unselfish and her wish was that everyone would be happy and she would do her best to make that happen. She loved to shop and the times she and her sister and family would spontaneously load up the car and take off together for an adventure.
