Tonya Higgins Obituary

Tonya Linette Higgins, age 47, a lifetime resident of the OKC area, passed away on Sunday, February 28, 2010. She received her crown and ultimate healing after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Tonya was born June 23, 1962 at Mercy Hospital. She was employed for several years by the Hertz Corporation. Throughout her life she was quite an animal lover with several pets she included as part of her family. Tonya was also a skilled sketch and airbrush artist. Much of her work was done for family and friends, with several drawings sold to those who appreciated her talent. Tonya was preceded in death by her loving husband, Robert Higgins; her parents, Thurman and Ruby Jefferson; and one sister, Teresa Tripp. She is survived by her children, Joshua and Lindsay Pulliam; stepchildren, Courtney Higgins-Hunter and Frank Higgins; step-grandchildren, Jace and Kelsey; brother, Carl; sisters, Tami and Tara; and numerous nieces and nephews. Tonya left a legacy of love and compassion for family and for those whose lives she touched. Memorial services will be held at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, March 7, 2010, at Bill Eisenhour Northeast Chapel in Oklahoma City, OK.
