Join Us in Supporting Tonia & Kelly

Tonia & Kelly Davis have been a fixture around the Rogue Valley for the last 45 years. You may know Tonia through her retail work at Rare Earth as early as 1981 or as recently as the mid-2000s. Maybe from summer softball when she played on teams Omar's, Jeremiah’s & DeCarlow Homes for over 20 years. She might be the person who makes sure that your special event or local team has personalized t-shirts via Spears Screen Printing or Dragonfly Screen Printing, or the handpainted driftwood Santa(s) on your Christmas mantel might bring her to mind. Kelly is a seasoned plumber who spends many of his weekends helping family & friends with plumbing problems, or lending a hand with gardening or carpentry projects. Their faces may be familiar from their support of SOU sports teams, athletes, & pregame tailgaters. If you are an art or music enthusiast, you will recognize them from the many local concerts & art shows they patronize to celebrate Jon & Kat, their talented son & daughter-in-law. However you might know them, we can all agree that one would be hard-pressed to find two more generous & giving people than Tonia & Kelly.

Tonia had open heart surgery on Monday, December 9th after collapsing outside their home a week earlier. Her heart condition came as a big surprise, but explains so much about why she has been feeling poorly. The situation means a long recovery process, missed work & financial strain. They can use your help.

I have created this GoFundMe account to help ease this difficult time. Neither Tonia nor Kelly would ever ask for anything, thus, I decided to take it out of their hands. Whatever you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Your financial help will go directly into an account for them to access, allowing them to use it as they see fit.

Please do not call Tonia & Kelly directly, as they need to focus on Tonia's healing at this point in time. I will do my best to keep you all informed, with regular updates on this site.

Thank you for stepping up and helping this wonderful family!

Sheryl Tuttle, lifelong family friend
