WILMINGTON — Tonya Lynn “Bee” Reyes, 38, passed from her earthly life to her heavenly home in Glory on Monday, June 23, 2025 surrounded with love and her family.
She was born May 6, 1987 in Wilmington, the daughter of Susie Pickett Price and the late Bobby Ray “Smokey” Price.
In addition to her mother Tonya is survived by her husband, Roger Nahum Reyes; her children, Anthony, Mariela, Adelina, Easton, Preston, and Anuel; brothers, Samuel Price (Crystal), Jimmy Prosser, and Bobby Price, Jr. (Nicole); many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends, all who dearly loved Tonya.
Tonya was a stay at home mom, and she loved caring for Roger and their dear six children. Tonya was a strong-willed and honest lady who put her family first. She lived for her children, and her children were her life. She was a devoted homemaker. If you ask any of her six beautiful children, they will tell you that she was the best mother that ever could be.
Along with cooking for her family, she enjoyed many other things. She enjoyed listening to good country music – her favorite being Hank Williams Sr. Her love of music was bestowed to her by Turtle, her musical grandpa. She also loved John Wayne movies and would watch them on repeat.
Tonya lived a beautiful, blessed life, and while she didn’t want to leave her beloved husband and amazing children, she found joy and comfort in finally being with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and also being reunited with her beloved father Bobby Ray Price. And, just like everything else she did, she left her earthly life on her own terms!
Tonya’s family would greatly appreciate memorial donations may be given to Quinn McGowen Funeral Home, PO Box 1316, Burgaw, NC 28425.
Shared memories and condolences may be sent to the family here.
