Tonya was born May 4, 1975, in Brownfield, Texas, to Jimmy and Nelda (Mitchell) Gilbert.  She married Kyle Admire on September 3, 1999, in Lubbock.  Tonya was a member of the First Baptist Church in Olton and had a deep faith with Christ which never waivered. Always loving, always kind, always caring, she never met a stranger and loved to talk.  Tonya enjoyed crafting and traveling and she loved to sing praise music.
