of Higden, AR
October 4, 1976 - August 27, 2023
In loving memory of Tonya McCall Cooper
It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Tonya McCall Cooper, a beloved wife, mother, sister and friend. Tonya's journey in this world began on October 4, 1976 and sadly came to an end on August 27, 2023. A person filled with love and strength; Tonya left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Tonya's life was a testament to the power of love and companionship. Her husband and confidant of 20 years, Billy Joe Cooper of Higden, Arkansas shared a bond that transcended time and circumstance. Their journey was one of shared dreams, unconditional support and unwavering commitment.
A devoted mother, Tonya's legacy lives on through her children, Jeremy Wayne Cooper (Chloe Williams), Ashley Pribbernow and Baileigh Cooper. Her nurturing spirit and boundless love shaped them into the remarkable people they are today, and her influence will forever guide their path.
Tonya is also survived by her mother-in-law, Lisa Hall of Greenbrier, Arkansas, who was a huge part of her life. And five sisters and three brothers. She is preceded in death by her parents, Danny and Annie McCall and her Nanny.
Tonya's vibrant spirit thrived through her hobbies. She loved her Jeep and going ''Jeeping'' whenever possible. She loved the water, whether the ocean or Greers Ferry lake, being on the boat most every weekend during the summer. But beyond all, she found her greatest joy in simple pleasures like enjoying good food and spending quality time with her friends and family. Her ability to create lasting memories was a gift she generously shared with all those around her.
As we say goodbye to Tonya, let us remember the things she showed us: to embrace every moment, to love fiercely and to cherish the bonds that tie us together. In her absence, may we find comfort in the love and memories she leaves behind.
Rest in peace, sweet Tonya. You will forever remain in our hearts.
Memorial Visitation will be held on Friday, September 1, 2023, at Roller McNutt in Greenbrier from 4:00-6:00PM.

Tonya was a friend to all and a light in both of our lives. She was always there when you needed her and would take care of anyone! We wish so dearly we could be with the Coopers for this celebration of life, but are sending love and prayers to them. We already miss her contagious laugh and kind spirit! Her light will continue to shine through her friends and family! We love Billy and Cooper so much and wish the best for the family! Rest easy sweet Tonya, give heaven some hell for all of us.

Sweetheart, I only meet you in person twice. You were my daughter’s twin and I knew she loved you and Billy so much. I felt like a long lost friend when you stopped by with Detra. You invited us to join the family for a fish fry and you only knew us for 30 minutes. You were such a lovely soul and I am disappointed that we didn’t get to spend more time together with you and the family. Rest in peace, you sweet, sweet soul.

Tonya, thank you for being my mamas best friend. I already miss trying to convince you to stay outside late with us. To be positive, you were the life of the party and one of the funniest people. I miss you dearly and can’t get you off my mind. I love you and your family and sending prayers.

My heart is aching , I am so broken, I do not know how to process this. We had plans! We raise our kids together we loved each of them as our own. You were going to come watch Emmy cheer! You were a friend turned sister when we had no one else! We all became a family! We thought we had more time and time kept getting away from us. Every summer was going to be the summer. My God why did I wait! You meant the world to me! I know you would be saying "we are never guaranteed tomorrow Lisa!" And you are so so right!
I know my Dad will be throwing his arms around you up there! I now have 2 amazing angels to surround me.
My love for you and your family was never lost. I grieved when you moved away and I grieve you flying away!
I love you Tonya Nichole Cooper, Fly high! â¤ï¸
