Tonya Wilson Graham, 56, of East Flat Rock went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 15, 2019 at Pardee hospital following a courageous battle with cancer.

Tonya was a 23-year employee of the Henderson County Health Department and was an active member of Gethsemane Baptist Church. She enjoyed fishing, camping, spending time at the beach and anything that had to do with being outdoors. Tonya had a positive thing to say about everyone and anyone who met her ended up loving her. She always had a warm smile on her face to greet everyone, and she loved spending time with her family and friends.

She is survived by her loving husband, Bruce; parents, Charles and Louise Wilson; children, Stephanie Massey (Dale), Kim Toney (Chris) and Justin Toney (Tina); grandchildren, Troy Jackson, Kristina Jackson, Cameron Massey, Kayla Toney, Carter Garren and Gianni Toney; one great-grandchild; several nieces and nephews; her best friend of 34 years, JoAnne Ballard and her loveable dog, Charlie Brown.

    RIP my beautiful cousin that I named my daughter Tonya after. I always loved her name as we grew up running the creeks of NC so I named my daughter after her. Her birth date was 7-12-63 my Tonya's birth date was 7-14-83. I lost my daughter Tonya on 6-7 in a tragic car accident and now my cousin Tonya on 7-15. They are now together in heaven..
