Tonya J McConnell

Tonya was born April 2, 1957, in Greenville to Freda Joan Meyers and the late Charles Meyers. Tonya spent her younger years working many hours and jobs to raise her two daughters on her own. That changed when she met and married her husband Mike in 1987, whom she would spend her life with him until his death earlier this year.

Tonya was a compassionate spirit who cared about her family, friends and animals. All of whom will miss her dearly.

In addition to her mother, Tonya is survived by her children, Amy & Chad Ridout, Nichole Dickey, Tom & Erin McConnell and Kyle McConnell; grandchildren, Ashlyn, Mackenzie, Logan, Austin (Sofia), Tyler, Kaitlyn, Avalyn, Kiyla, Hannah, Hayley and Rowe Easton; great-grandson, Theodore; brother & sister-in-law, Brian & Jovette Meyers; brother-in-law & sister-in-law, Ronald & Tonya McConnell; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Tonya’s life will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday, November 27, 2022, in the Brick Room at the Brethren Retirement Community in Greenville. Memorial contributions may be made to Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville to help with funeral expenses.
