Brooke Leigh Ton slipped away from her earthly bonds on Friday, October 14, 2016 at 3am and Heaven gained a new Angel. Brooke was born on March 19, 1990, in Gretna, LA., the daughter of her loving mother and best friend, Lynda Ronquillo Ton, and her father Hank Ton. Brooke is survived by her parents, her dear friend, and mother's boyfriend, David Smith, her loving brothers, Joel Ton (Kassidy) and Jason Ton (girlfriend, Jaclynn Hyatt), sister Heather and her children, cherished boyfriend, Michael Callais, best friend Charlie Newberry, special friend, Blake Brown, who was like a brother to her, beloved godmother, Barbara Halphen, godson, Ayden Kennedy and his sister, Brianna Kennedy who was like a sister to Brooke, grandfather Abraham Ton, (Annette), canine companion, Eddie, and loving Aunts and Uncles: Karen Ballay (John, deceased); Angel Kennedy (James); Cindy Zito (Howard); Simon (Joey) Ronquillo; Earl Ronquillo (Rhonda); Nancy Butler (Delton), Marie Rime

Brooke was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Simon and Ellamae Ronquillo who welcomed her with open arms at heaven's door, and her paternal grandmother Joyce Ton. Brooke was a graduate of Academy of Our Lady and Our Lady of Holy Cross College. She was pursuing a doctorate degree at the time of her passing. Brooke was a former Eucharistic minister and lector at St. Patrick Church in Port Sulphur. To know Brooke was to love Brooke. She was so smart and thoughtful. She never met a stranger. In her too short time here on earth, Brooke touched more lives and made more friends than most people do in a lifetime. She had an enormous heart and lived life to the fullest and with passion. She had that rare gift of warmth and unselfishness. She often visited her uncle at the nursing home. She joked and cheered him with her sweet nature. She sang to him and with him and was h
is Karaoke Buddy at family parties and events. She loved writing poetry and stories. She also had a passion for song and dance from a young age, and wrote and sang several songs with the voice of an angel. Brooke enjoyed fishing and hunting with her brothers and friends. She brought so much life and joy to our lives and we are much better for having known and loved her. Until we meet again--fly high Beautiful Angel!

I truly do not know what to say to the family and friends of Brooke, but I want you to know this has touched me on a deep level and I am praying for all of you. Brooke is in a much better place; dancing, singing, and flying around watching over all of you. My one most memorable time of seeing Brooke was watching her out in the Bayou one 4th of July at the beach riding her wave runner with such life, happiness, and excitement. I remember thinking to myself that day, she sure is not scared of anything. I am sure she is at peace and would want all who loved her to be at peace also. Many blessings to Lynda, her children, and family. I know Brooke will be missed, but as we all know from our teachings, you will all see her again. God bless you and God bless Brooke.

Brooke was a special person who never met a stranger nor did she have an enemy. Always loving and genuine. She will be missed enormously.

I'm so sorry to get the news about Brooke. She and I spent some good quality time together at a fitness camp and you might think a woman in her 50's may not room well with a gal in her 20's but we got along great right from day 1. I have a very vivid, treasured memory now of our last time together...she hugged me tight, full-on, huge bear hug, and she told me how much she appreciated my friendship and that she was glad she met me. Fly with the angels My friend, you are free. Krista Ward

Brooke and I attended many classes together at the University of Holy Cross and graduated together. Brooke always had a smile on her face. She was a joy to be around. I can now more than ever see she was loved by many. The one thing I know for sure is that she loved her family. I barely new Brooke as a person, but the one thing I could see that she expressed clearly was that she loved her family. I wish I could've gotten to know her better.
Praying for your family for healing and strength. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help during this difficult time. She is stirring laughter above.

Brooke defended all those she loved with a passion of the pure in heart.

In 1813 Lord Byton wrote a poem that would be most appropriate in describing Brooke:

She Walks in Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Sincerely,
Zoe and Calvin Fleming
