Tonia was instantly loved by all who met her. Her laughter was contagious and she lived life to its fullest.
Tonia was a graduate of Cecilia High School. She was employed by St. Martin Parish School Board as a bus driver and adored the kids on her bus. Prior to this, she was employed in the oilfield business where she worked many years for Halliburton and Professional Wireline Rentals. Tonia was also the dedicated caregiver of her mother.
Tonia always gave freely of herself to love and take care of others. Her daughters were her whole world and her sister was her best friend. She loved the New Orleans Saints, the Cecilia Bulldogs, and the beach. Tonia went to meet our Lord during the annual beach trip with her extended family in a location that she called her “Happy Place.”
