Pontiac, Illinois

Tonya Lynn Greenwell, age 38, of Pontiac, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

Tonya is survived by her husband, Justin Lee Greenwell; beloved son, Austin Lee Greenwell; parents, Kurt and Theresa Keefer; and her siblings, Dustin Houser and Mercedes Sullivan.

With hearts full of love and sorrow, we remember our dear friend, mother, daughter, sister and wife, Tonya Lynn Greenwell (Keefer). Her laughter was a melody that could lift any spirit, and her radiant smile had a way of brightening even the darkest days. Her ability to choose the most inappropriate times to laugh at an inside joke and convince others to join in was unmatched.

Tonya was a proud and devoted mother; her heart forever intertwined with her beloved son. He was her greatest joy, her truest accomplishment, and the light of her life.

She nurtured many beautiful friendships, each one a reflection of her kindness, humor, and open heart. Tonya’s warmth drew people in, and her gentle spirit left a lasting imprint on all who knew her. There was nothing she wouldn't do to help those she loved.

Though she has left this world, her laughter still echoes in our memories, and her love continues to shine in the lives she touched.

Rest peacefully, sweet Tonya. Your light will never fade.
