Tonya L. Miller

Tonya Louise Stephenson Miller, age 58, of Bar Nunn, Wyoming, passed away on November 18, 2024, at home.

Tonya was born in Orange, California to Bernice Elizabeth Kitzmiller and Guy Gordon Stephenson on April 6, 1966. She went to school in Moreno Valley, California and graduated high school in 1984. She worked in the service-related job industry including social services and elderly care throughout her life. She enjoyed cooking, anything near water, tanning, being outdoors, talking on the phone, shopping, and spending all her time with her family and friends close.

Tonya, AKA Tonni, was a socialite who loved bringing people together through her love of cooking great meals and sharing her home with everyone. Tonni loved her husband with all her heart and her family was truly EVERYTHING in her life. Things she shared with those close to her were her love of camping, fishing, and hunting which were her true getaway, chill, and relax mode activities. She also loved being a wanderer, traveling for hours to visit her closest relatives. Tonni was also a true comedian, making people laugh until their sides hurt, cutting up, and just being a joy in her oldest and newest friends’ hearts. She never met a stranger. Tonni will be missed by all and forgotten by none.
