A beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Tony leaves behind a legacy of warmth, kindness, and a passion for teaching that deeply touched the lives of those she encountered.
Educated in Madisonville, Kentucky, Tony graduated from Madisonville North Hopkins before pursuing her dream at Kentucky Wesleyan College, where she obtained her bachelor's degree in education. She dedicated her professional life to teaching, thriving in her role and cherishing the moments spent with her students.
