Tonya, the daughter of Charlie Clark & Kay Gordon Clark, was born March 4, 1965, in Clarksville, TX. She graduated from Clarksville High School. At the age of 15 she began working at Red River Bank through a school program. Later she worked at Lovelady State Bank. After moving to Palestine, she worked at the Walmart Pharmacy. Tonya then began a career with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice where she worked for a number of years. She then went back to school attending the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, graduating with honors. Her degree was in sonography, and she worked at Paris Imaging for 20 years until her health failed.
Tonya was a proud life-long Pittsburgh Steelers fan, loyal through every season, always cheering for her beloved black and gold. No matter where her life took her, her Steelers were always close to her heart. She loved the beach where she and friends would search for seashells. Her favorite was sand dollars. They would rent a golf cart and drive on the beach having the best of times. The sounds of the crashing waves were music to her ears.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Gerald & Irene Gordon and Charlie & Letha Clark.
Survivors include her son, Tanner McCann (Amber), granddaughter, Macie McCann, her parents, Charlie & Kay Clark and two brothers, Dean Clark (Annick) and Greg Clark (Freda) along with several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces & nephews, and a host of friends.
The family would like to extend appreciation to the nurses and staff at The Plaza on North Main and Chambers Hospice for the care and attention given to their loved one.
