Tonya Hackney Obituary
She was born in Camden on Oct. 1, 1972 to Beverly Gregory Stanley and Arnold Raulston.
She was preceded in death by her father, Arnold Raulston and her grandparents, Coyan and Ima Jean Gregory.
She is survived by her sons, Christopher Spencer and Brad Umphres, of Bentonville, Gregory and Kara Spencer, of Western Grove, Dakota Spencer, of Jeanette, Pennsylvania; her mother, Beverly Stanley, of Harrison; a brother and many loving sisters, family and friends.
She loved fishing, Jeep riding, crafts and picking up rocks along the creek bank. She loved to grow a garden how her grandpa taught her. Her laugh was contagious. However, her most prized talent was baking. She never took a dessert that someone would not ask for the recipe. There will be no service. In honor of Tonya "Brandy" we ask that you make a dessert and give it to a friend. She always showed kindness in this way.

Brandy and I became friends when she was pregnant with Cody. We hit off and we're the best of friends, for many, many years. We may of drifted some but we always stayed in touch. She was an amazing friend. Love and prayers to all her family.

Hiked the Buffalo River Trail, she promised she knew where we where. She didn't. Followed her around lost for three hours. Laughed for four hours. I loved her for 10 years. Will miss her sincerely. Condolences to the family.
