Altonya “Tonya” Angelique (Franklin) Bancroft

Posted

Tonya was born into a military family and learned quickly to enjoy traveling the world.

As an adult, she joined the U.S. Army and served her country for nearly five years. She left the Army in 1980 when she married her husband, Mervon A. Bancroft. They proceeded to spend more than 40 years together as they raised their family.

Tonya made acquaintances easily and appreciated the friendship extended to her by many folks when she and her husband retired and returned to live in the Buffalo area. Tonya was an animal lover and was always willing to take in cats that were cast off by others.

Tonya was a strong and vibrant woman until cancer took her good health and left her to struggle with it and its complications for nearly 18 years.

Tonya is survived by her husband, Mervon A. Bancroft; a son, Bryant Bancroft; and two daughters: Jessica Bancroft and Anna Bancroft.

Tonya was preceded in death by a daughter, Rachel Bancroft; and a grandson, Ryder Bancroft.
