May 18, 1972 — July 22, 2024

Tonia Ann Hooper (Pierce), 52 of Evansville, IN, died on July 22, 2024, after a long battle with multiple health conditions.

Tonia was born May 18, 1972, in Vincennes, IN, to Connie (Balthus) Young. She graduated from Vincennes Lincoln High School in 1990 and pursued her nursing career in Evansville. Tonia served her community in pediatrics, home health, stroke rehab, and passion for school. She sacrificed her health for her patients. Even with the health issues, she wanted the best for her children. She fought until her last breath, especially for her youngest daughter, Zoe.

Her final moments were spent peacefully in her home in Evansville after a night with her mother and dog. Tonia was known for her determination to always be right. She was also a caring mother and friend, Tonia will be dearly missed. She welcomed everyone in need with open arms. Tonia helped raise and care for many children in her 52 years.

Tonia is survived by her children Chelsea Bailey (Noah), Jordan Bailey, Zoe Hooper, Mila Hooper, Michael Hooper Jr (Megan), Tariq Hooper, and Mekhi Hooper, her parents Connie (Balthus) and Louis Young, sisters Michele Peaches, Wilma (Penny) Waelde, and Shawna Ault (Matt), grandchildren Michael (Bubba) Hooper III, Immanuel Hooper, Eliza Hooper, Keigynn Bailey, and Kingston Capps Langley, honorary son Darian Porter, number 1 aunt Bonnie Balthus, and her beloved poodle Lilo Hooper.

Tonia’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing and sickness.
