51.
Tonja is survived by her loving husband of 23 years Albert M. Weeks, their
children, John M. Summers, Jr. (wife, Jessica) and Alexandra P. Weeks. Daughter
of the late Roger H. Poirier, Jr. and Vicki-Lynn G. Santell (husband, Michael). Niece
to Henry E. Poirier, Sr. and wife Andrea B. Poirier, as well as many loving Cousins,
Sisters-In-Law, Brothers-In Law, Nieces, Nephews, relatives and friends.
Tonja made the most of her all-too-short time with us. Tonja's passions were
shopping, reading, fine dining, traveling and especially her love of her dogs Coco,
Maggie, and Cupcake. She worked as a buyer for Sysco for the past 28 years.
Tonja was a native New Orleanian and a resident of Harahan. She enthusiastically
celebrated Mardi Gras and all things New Orleans. Tonja will be greatly missed by
all who knew and loved her.
