Obituary of Tonya Leeanne Marshburn

Tonya Leeanne Marshburn passed away at her home in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was born in Jasper, Georgia, and raised in Pickens and Cherokee County. She later moved to Florida at a young age with her mother and brothers.

She was one of a kind, with her southern and goofy attitude, her sassy comebacks, her craziness, her weird but cute laugh, her nurturing motherly instinct, and her huge heart. She always loved being around her family and friends. She loved driving around in her Big Red Truck with the windows down and the music booming. She loved spending time with her husband and kids at the beach to watch sunsets. 

Tonya is survived by her loving Husband of 23 years: Damien Chavez Marshburn, three Children: Elliot Chavez Marshburn, Isaac Crosby Marshburn, and Emma Leeanne Marshburn; Mother-in-Law: Deborah Anne Marshburn; Her Parents: Nancy and Gary La Salle & Jerry and Carol Swancey; Brothers: Christopher and Steven Swancey; Sister-in-Law: Shannon Crimi; Grandfather: Bobby Goble; Step Grandparents: Tom and Rose La Salle; Two adopted Mothers: Sherry Garland & Jackie Martin; 6 nieces; 7 nephews; multiple Aunts & Uncles; and numerous Cousins.

She is preceded in death by: Grandmothers: Ruth Goble, Reba Swancey & Jean Estelle Huggard; Grandfathers: Albert Crosby Huggard & Truman Swancey; Father-in-Law: Rick Chavez Marshburn; and Sister-in-Law: Jaycee Bradley.

Following her cremation, and in lieu of a graveside ceremony, a memorial service will be held for Tonya beginning at 2:00PM, on March 5, 2022, at Anderson McQueen Funeral Home in St. Petersburg, Florida.
