Tonya Michelle Ryan, born on January 14, 1984, passed away on August 20, 2024, at the age of 40. Tonya was a loving and devoted mother, daughter, and fiancée who lived her life with a heart full of love and a spirit full of kindness.
Tonya had a passion for coloring and could often be found creating beautiful works of art that brought joy to those around her. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of watching TV; her favorite moments were those spent surrounded by her family. Tonya had a deep love for dolphins, finding peace and inspiration in these magnificent creatures. She also had a genuine desire to help others and was pursuing her dream of working in the medical field by studying medical coding.
She was preceded in death by her beloved aunt, Angela McCarn, and her grandmother, JoAnn Freeman, both of whom she held close to her heart.
Tonya is survived by her loving mother and stepfather, Lisa and Charlie; her devoted brothers, David, Randy, and Cody; her cherished daughter, Melody and stepdaughters, Ava, and Erica; her beloved sons, Tristan and Roger; and her adored grandsons, Elijah and Carter. She also leaves behind her fiancé, Curtis, who was the love of her life and her partner in every way.
Tonya's legacy of love, creativity, and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered by her family and friends.
