Tonya L. Cronier, age 38, of Ripon, WI, passed away Tuesday, September 6, 2016, at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, WI.
Tonya was born June 2, 1978, in Travis Air Force Base Fairfield, CA, the daughter of Thomas D. and Carol A. (Johnson) Cronier. She worked as a sheet press operator for Ripon Printers. Tonya was a daughter, a sister, a mother and so much more. She was a benevolent being full of life. She lived for moments big and small. There are not enough words that come close to describing the immensity of love we have for her. She will be missed every second. Tonya thoroughly enjoyed being out on a river soaking up the sun and feeling the breeze on her face. All that was nature and all of its beauty made her smile. She enjoyed hiking and went to things like the renaissance fair and pow wows. Tonya made outfits and collected items precious to her like stones and photographs. She will be in our hearts through life and after. Tonya was a woman who lived day to day with support from her family. We will always love her.
