November 15, 1968 – July 30, 2023
Tonia Lynne McKinley, who was lovingly known as “Tammy” by her family and friends, passed away on the evening of July 30 while in hospice care. She died due to complications from lung cancer. Her final contribution to her community was to donate her body to science in the hopes of finding a cure for the cancer that took her life at age 54. She leaves behind relatives in Kentucky.
A Realtor with Watson Realty Corp. in Ortega, Tammy was best known to her fellow Realtors as the agent that sold 648 E. Union St. in December of 2018 for $4.6 million. The sale was especially important to the City of Jacksonville, because “in less than a year, the Union Terminal Warehouse will begin a new renaissance as a home, business, and entertainment cornerstone for the growing bold city,” according to News4Jax.
“Her hope was that her battle with this greedy disease does not end with her, but that scientists will find out more about it and help others in the future,” said Lorri Reynolds of Watson Realty.
Aside from her talent in real estate, Tammy was also an exceptional artist and avid supporter of the Riverside Arts Market.
“When she died, she was surrounded by family and friends. She knew she was loved,” Reynolds said.
