Tonja Jo Davis was born in Groom, Texas on March 15, 1974 to Betty Jo Pars-ley and James R. Walker. At the age of 2 she got a step mother, Coela Walker. There was a bond between them that lasted all her life. She had one son, Logan Austin Harvey who was born on November 2, 2004. She was so proud of him. Her eyes would light up when any one would men-tion his name. She married the love of her life, Ricky Davis on March 15, 2014. They lived in Claude, Texas where Tonja was so happy being a homemaker. She loved Jesus at an early age, and she loved to sing praises to Him her whole life. She gave her testimo-ny for Christ through song at many church services. Heaven gained a new an-gel on September 3, 2020. Tonja was 46 years, 5 months, and 19 days.

She was preceded in death by her step father,

Ronny Parsley and all grandparents.

She is survived by her husband, Ricky of the home; her son, Logan Har-vey of Oklahoma City; her mother, Betty Parsley of Amarillo; her father and step mother, James and Coela Walker of Amarillo; and a mother in law, Peg-gy Davis. She also leaves 6 step children, Amanda Dalryample, Katie Cole-man, Taryn Elbin, Chris-topher Chaney, Josh Davis and Eric Davis. She had 10 grandchildren and another one due in December. She leaves to mourn her pass-ing 5 sisters and 5 brothers. She also left a little black dog, Lilly.

We will all see her again one day in Heaven.

At the family’s request there will be no viewing.

The Alzheimer’s Association is invit-ing Amarillo residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by partic-ipating in the Alzhei-mer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® on October 3.

Instead of hosting a large gathering, the Alz-heimer’s Association is encouraging participants to walk as individuals or in small groups on sidewalks, tracks and trails across Amarillo.

“This year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be everywhere,” said Wen-dy Vizek, vice president, constituent events at the Alzheimer’s Association. “The pandemic is chang-ing how we walk, but it doesn’t change the need to walk. This year, more than ever, we need to come to-gether to support all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementia. With the dollars raised, the Alz-heimer’s Association can continue to provide care and support to families during these difficult times while also advancing criti-cal research toward meth-ods of treatment and pre-vention.”

Time-honored com-ponents of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s are being rep-licated. On Walk day, an Opening Ceremony will

feature local speakers and a presentation of Prom-ise Flowers to honor the personal reasons partici-pants join together to fight Alzheimer’s and all other dementia, all delivered to participants’ smartphones, tablets and computers.

To enhance the partici-pant experience leading up to the event and on Walk day, new features are be-ing added to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s mobile app to create an opportu-nity for the community to connect. Participants can use the app and new “Walk Mainstage’’ to track their steps and distance, follow a virtual Walk path, man-age their Facebook fund-raisers, and access infor-mation and resources from the Association and Walk sponsors to help individ-uals and families affected by the disease. A new au-dio track is available to en-courage participants along the way and to congratu-late them upon completion of their Walk.

“Alzheimer’s is not taking a hiatus during COVID-19 and neither are we,” said Ameka Mo-
