Tonya was a Free Spirit, never one to run by a schedule. She will always be remembered as having a Smile on her face. The most good heart person you could find and never complained about anything. She loved her family and in-laws, Rosemarie and Joseph Roy Sr., Charles and Pam Roy, Caroline and Dennis Hagler; future daughter in-law Beth Merritt; God Son, Pierce Washburn; aunts, uncles, cousins; nieces, Megan Hardy, Sarah Hardy, Abigail Hardy, Caitlin Hagler, Mallory Bosco, Brooke Washburn; and nephews, Pierce Washburn and Braxton Roy.
She loved her fur babies as if they were human. Tonya had a passion for fun, loved the beach and cruising. Her faith life was always at heart and loved the church. She will be missed dearly by many and will always be in their hearts.
