Superhero Ladybug a.k.a Tonia Marie Baggs of Hinesville, GA, passed away unexpectedly on 26 March 2024. Tonia
Marie was only 22 years old. Our family is devastated and shocked by this loss. Tonia was born on 10 July 2001 and
leaves behind her mother Melinda Baggs and brother Michael Baggs.
Our superhero kept her powers hidden as she traversed the Liberty County School system and graduated from Bradwell Institute in May 2022. Instead of a job, she stayed home with her brother and enjoyed football, family, and fun.
Now that Tonia has departed, we are allowed to discuss her superpowers openly. Tonia had an infectious smile and
laugh. Anyone who encountered her smiled felt happy. Kryptonite causes weakness in superheroes, but the word
hallelujah caused Tonia’s super strength to increase. Her smile, laughter, and vocalization would intensify whenever she heard it. Hallelujah was her favorite word. Another superpower was her super hearing.
She loved listening to University of Georgia football games. She often yelled for the home team. She also loved to listen as her mother read her favorite books. She loved all Pete the Cat books but reveled in the idea of meeting her arch nemesis Sam I Am with his green eggs and ham. She knew that green eggs were for St. Patrick’s Day, but green ham was loaded with e coli or salmonella and would cause food poisoning. She would save the world from his lyrical use of words utilized to cover his evil plan. Alas, that meeting would never come to pass.
The last power that will be discussed was her ability to spread love to all. She didn’t dislike anyone. She, Tonia, could not be cruel or speak a negative word to anyone. She was precious and delightful with a smile that could melt the heart of the coldest villain. She will be greatly missed.
Final and most sacred arrangements are entrusted to the professional care of The Dorchester Funeral Home, 7842 E. Oglethorpe Hwy, Midway, GA.
