Tonya Darlene Mitchell, lovingly known to many as "Tonto," peacefully departed this life on May 12, 2024, at her sister's home. Born on November 22, 1967, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Tonya was the compassionate daughter of Ralph and Shirley Allen, both of whom predeceased her.
Tonya’s life was a tapestry of love and kindness. She was an invaluable part of her sister Vivian Cobb’s family, including her brother-in-law, Charlie, and her treasured nephew Brandon Cobb and of course, her cat, Buddy, who was her constant companion, bringing much joy into her life.
Tonya was a dedicated employee at Cornerstone Insurance and spent countless hours volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, where her kindness made a difference in many lives. One of her greatest joys was joining her sister and brother-in-law at Christ United Methodist Church for services when she could.
Tonya is remembered for her warm heart and generous spirit. She now abides in the arms of her parents and grandmother, Mary Wilson. Her wish for cremation will be honored, and a memorial service is planned to celebrate her life.
In her memory, the family requests that donations be made to Christ United Methodist Church or the Ronald McDonald House at Erlanger.
Tonya’s love and light will always be remembered and cherished by those she touched.
