Tonja Hubbard, 58, left her earthly home on October 31, 2015 to join her 
Lord and Savior and those loved ones who have gone on before her. 
Visitation will be held Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at the funeral home. 
Graveside services will be held at 2:00p.m., Wednesday, November 4, 2015 
at Robert Lee Cemetery with Reverend William Hood officiating. Services 
are under the direction of Shaffer Funeral Home.

Tonja was born on January 23, 1957 in Coleman, Texas to Dole and Ettie 
(Windham) Hubbard. She was raised in a Christian home and had accepted
 her Lord and Savior at a young age. In her younger days, she loved dirt 
track racing, riding four wheelers and spending time with family and 
friends, especially during the holidays.
 
Tonja was the fun loving mother of two children, even though they were 
born twenty years apart she loved them the same way with all of her heart. 
She also loved her grandkids and loved being around them and hugging on them.
 
She spent most of her later years as a resident in the Robert Lee Care 
Center with Huntington's Disease. She fought a long, hard battle with 
this incurable disease that has taken the lives of many of her family 
members much too young including her father, siblings, Gary and Sheila, 
and her nephew Tray.
 
She is preceded in death by her parents; brother, Gary Hubbard; sister, 
Sheila Hubbard; and nephew, Tray Taylor.

Tonja leaves behind her loving daughters, Sandra Flores and Maranda Hood 
and husband Aaron; one sister-the last of her siblings left on earth, who 
also suffers from Huntington's Disease, Valerie Taylor; grandchildren, 
Braylee, Brewer and Brennen Hood; and Jessie Flores who has been the best 
parent he can be to their daughter while she resided in the RLCC.
 
The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Robert 
Lee Care Center. Many blessing to all of you, who cared for her over the 
years. She always hoped and prayed that there would be a cure one day. Please 
pray for a cure and for the families out there suffering with the 
curse of Huntington's Disease.
