Tononica loved sports and was extremely competitive in all aspects of her life. She was selfless and charitable, willing to help anyone in need, and always prioritized others. She loved unconditionally and always put family first, including her furry family. She was opinionated and stubborn, but that was part of her charm. There were no secrets with her; You always knew how she felt. She had an undeniable magnetism that drew people in and the warmth of her light will continue to shine in the lives of those lucky enough to have known her. There will be no services. A private graveside service will be held by the family in the spring in the Dexter Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made to any local animal shelter in her name.
