In addition to her parents, Tonjya was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Peter Pray.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Hospice of Alabama for their compassionate care of Tonjya during her last days and to e-Kids Learning Center for bringing her immense joy and fulfillment in life.
