Estella Pratt Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Circle of Life Funeral Home on Mar. 25, 2025.
Estella L. Pratt,
A.K.A. Tonya
Was born on October 9, 1967 in West Jersey Hospital to Elizabeth "Vicky" Pratt and Corbin J. Wortz, a.k.a. Jimmy. She was the miracle child because her mother gave birth to her having both, one Kidney and lung. Although Jimmy was not Tonya's biological father, he loved her no less than he loved Vicky and her other nine (9) children as well. These children; Butchie, Brenda, Shiela, Eddie, Jeffrey, Bobbie, Robin, Walter aka Stevie and Wanda. That makes Tonya the blissful number 10th child of the bunch.
Estella attended Forest Hill and Bonsall Family School for elementary and Pyne Poynt for middle school, finishing school off at Camden High School. She sored through with honors in some academics, extracurricular and mandatory activities. She was a part of the Camden High track team. Tonya is survived by a host of good friends that became more like family, such as Sadie Gould, Donna Peoples, and Ivetta Ash, who later became her daughter Charita's Godmother. She quickly developed tons of brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and even kids that weren't hers that looked at Tee as a mother figure and Tee being the woman she was, she had a heart of gold. She would feed anyone she saw hungry and would clothe anybody she saw needed help. Even gave huge loans of money to any hand she could help, that was just her heart!!!
Estelle has exposed this golden heart to many that were BLESSED to call her mom and those who didn't meet her nice side was quickly exposed to that left hook, lol Don't forget she was a lefty and a Libra. Her scales would unbalance but she'd balance it out more to the lover than the fighter. Tee loved her 3 children Charita, Jeffrey and Kathleen unconditionally. She gave them the world. A loving God sister, Damira Cubbage, who was always in the picture when needed and an additional child, Ciarra Wallace who stuck by her side day and night. Great bonds were made. Also 2 God children she loved dearly like her own children Renee and Jerrell Shands and her 3 kings/ 1 Diva grandbabies Kwa'Zair Jaion Pratt, J'Shaad Tymir Baker Jason David Nettles Jr. and her Stinka-butt, (lol) Kailani Kayla Johnson.
