Tonia Patricia Haywood

Our dear sweet mamabear, Tonia Patricia Haywood, unexpectedly left us on October 21, 2022, at the age of 59. She was a loving and caring person who made many friends wherever she went. She an abundance of people who loved her and was a well-known member of the community in Dayton, Ohio. Her life accomplishments she was most proud of were her children and grandchildren. Her favorite past time was to spend time with them and see them smile. She was known for her free spirit, her upbeat nature, and her ability to survive many things. She loved to spread happiness and brought many smiles to others wherever she went. She was preceded in death by her husband Craig Haywood, her parents Kasey and Esther Wolford, her brother Earl Wolford, and her brother-in-laws Tom Miracle and Bruce Metzler. She is survived by her children Eric (Melissa) Wolford, Allen Haywood, Paul (Tiffany) Haywood, her grandchildren Derek, Kryslyn, Devan, and Kylie, her daughter in law Amanda Spears, her siblings Danny (Barb) Wolford, Dreama Miracle, Sharon Metzler, Kenneth Wolford (who recently left us), numerous nieces and nephews who loved and adored her dearly, and her best friend French Fry.
