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. A native and lifelong resident of Henderson County, she was a graduate of West Henderson High School. She was preceded in death by her sister, Sheila and niece, Shelly.

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.
