She told us she wasn’t ready to go, so of course we weren’t ready to lose her. How we miss her already.
She was only 55 and so loved by her husband, Tom Hollowell, her son, Ryan Hollowell,Heather and Michael ,her sister, Vicki Visculgia, and all her “Grandchildren”, Mathias & Lilliana; Jami, Leah & Xavier; Abbey, Kenna, Nicholas & Chevelle. She was more than friends with her In-Laws: Les & Mary Hollowell, Greg & Karen Hollowell, Marvin & Bonnie Hollowell and Connie Immer.
Many of you know she was a local. She attended West Valley High School in Yakima. Then she joined the Army Reserve, and was a take charge Drill Sargent though only when it was necessary. Agri beef,( Washington Beef) is proud to reveal she has worked for them since 1982. She was a proficient journeyman meat cutter but, so much more in life. Her Best Friend is also from Washington Beef, Neddy Martinez.
She loved to invest her time with her husband, Tom. They camped, fished & combed the beach clamming alone and with all their loved ones. Her bucket list was pretty short as she lived every day in the moment. She didn’t put off making special memories. Just last year she and Tom made it out to the Sturgis, South Dakota Motorcycle Rally. She did not focus on, dying and didn’t want any of us to do so either. She helped us all be Strong & Brave with her.
A celebration of life will be held at the Zillah Civic Center Thursday, May 3, 2018 at 3:30 p.m. To share a memory of Tonya, please visit keithandkeith.com
