With broken hearts, we celebrate the life and memory of Shatoya Toson, a beloved daughter, devoted mother, cherished sister, and dear friend. Shatoya departed this life on May 27, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and deep devotion to her family.
Born on January 30, 1990, in San Diego, California, Shatoya was the precious daughter of Tracey McDonald and Robert Toson. From the very beginning, she radiated joy and compassion-qualities that defined her life and the many lives she touched.
Shatoya was the proud and loving mother of five beautiful children: Angel Toson, Ty Jean Wayne, Zaleia Sherrell, Te’Leya Sherrell, and Zeus Toson. Her children were her greatest treasure, and she poured her heart into nurturing, guiding, and protecting them.
She shared an unbreakable bond with her siblings: Arenetta Williams, Shanae Toson, Alyna Webb, Robert Toson, and Rashaad Toson. To them, she was not only a sister, but also a confidant, a protector, and a constant source of love and strength.
Shatoya was preceded in death by her beloved sister LaTasha Elnora Williams, and her dear grandmother Jenny Stern, both of whom welcomed her into eternal peace.
Her spirit lives on through her nieces; Myrikal Lewis and Amaya Toson, her nephews; Tre’mond Hudspeth and Osiais Toson, and a host of extended family and friends who will carry her memory with love and pride.
Those who knew Shatoya will forever remember her radiant smile, her infectious laughter, and the fierce love she showed to those around her. She had a rare and beautiful gift for making others feel seen, valued, and loved.
Though her time on earth was far too brief, the light of Shatoya’s love will shine on forever in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
