Tonya Desa McCarty

March 15, 1962 - March 13, 2020

Tonja Desa McCarty passed away March 13th, 2020 at the age of 58. Tonja was born on March 15th, 1962 to George and Louise Snyder. She lived in Inola, Oklahoma with her husband Ricky McCarty. Tonja and her husband fell madly in love in 1980 and never let go of each other since. They had two children (Ricky and Tamisha McCarty), one daughter-in-law (Amanda McCarty), and four grandchildren (Rayliegh, Madison, Landon, and Macy McCarty). Tonja was always so proud when talking about her son, Ricky and loved bragging on him to anyone that would listen. She also loved to show off her beautiful grandbabies and snuggle them any chance she got. Tonja was an awesome badass that knew exactly what she wanted and didn't settle for less. No one had to guess where they stood with her, she was very outspoken (which was one of her best qualities). She loved to laugh, ride her Harley, and drive her Trans Am. Tonja had a massive soft spot for her grandchildren and spoiled them rotten, just as a grandma should. She loved to go to the casino; the Michael Jackson game was her favorite, she called it "The Big Monies" because she always won on it (she only put hundred dollar bills in it, but shhh�.don't tell her husband that). She also loved to shoot her gun, even after she almost ripped half of her hand off with the slide. She was her daughter-in-law's best friend and was the best confidant/secret keeper anyone could have. She was the best napper this side of the Mississippi and soft blankets were her kryptonite. Tonja will be missed dearly. We love you mom, you're forever in our hearts!
