Rebecca Tonkin, a Sitka resident for 10 years, died Feb. 1, 2013, in Tucson at the age of 43.

Rebecca was born Aug. 28, 1969, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the daughter of Gail and David Williams.

She was a waitress at Victoria’s restaurant, and she greatly enjoyed Sitka and her friends here.
Her health worsened, however, and in 2006 she returned to Tucson to be closer to family.
She is survived by her parents, Gail and David Williams, 4849 E. 12th St., Tucson, AZ 85711; her sister, Rosalind Greene and two nephews, of Tucson; and her former husband, Todd Tonkin, of Texas.
