Tonya Chastang, age 75, a resident of Fairhope, Alabama, passed away Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022.
Tonya was an educator at heart and taught 6th grade for many years. She was dedicated to her students and their success and was a vital part of Daphne Middle School. After retirement, she found her true love in her grandchildren. She adored being a “Mimi” and loved her transport and homework duties.
Tonya is survived by her daughter, Amy Chastang Long (Austin); son, Alan Chastang (Kim); grandchildren, Brandt, Baylor, Bishop, Breland, Baker, Johnny, Rodney; brother, Tom Etheridge (Gary); many other loving relatives and friends.
Graveside Service will be held Saturday, Mar. 19 at 10 a.m. at Oak Hill Cemetery in Atmore, Alabama followed by a Celebration of Life luncheon at Lake Forest Yacht Club. Tonya’s family invites you to join us as we celebrate her life, remember her tenacious presence, and hopefully enjoy a beautiful spring day like she loved so much.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Haven in honor of Tonya’s love of animals and the companionship provided by her dog Mardi.
