She was a resident of Daufuskie Island, SC, where she’d lived for the last few years of her life.

An only child, she was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Linda Arroyo, and her
father, Steve Allen.
She was engaged to Rodel “Odie” Ramos of Rincon, Georgia. Odie stood by her side and
made her life as comfortable as possible during her final battle. Their love was very special.
Tonya worked for Janus Coastal Construction under the leadership of Jeff Fagan and his
wife; whom were very helpful to her during her time of need.
Tonya was extremely outgoing, friendly and had never met a stranger. She had a larger-than-
life personality and a lively social life.
She worked with her close friend, Melissa Davis, beginning over twenty years ago and their
friendship remained strong up until her death. She had relocated to Daufuskie Island to help
Melissa in 2024 and fell in love with the beauty of the island and it’s people.
Having no family of her own, she especially enjoyed the unique “Island Family” community of
Daufuskie Island.
