Antonia (Tonie) Padilla Moya, 84 years old of San Angelo, went to be with the Lord on February 13, 2019 after a 4 ½ year battle with cancer surrounded by family and friends. Born in San Angelo on June 17, 1934, the oldest of Jose Aguirre Padilla and Josefine Rocha Padilla. She married the late John Cantu and one child was born of this union, Danny Cantu (her little boy). Later in life she married the late Sam Moya, a union that lasted 25 years. Possessing the true servant’s heart, this woman of faith shaped the spirituality of her family and friends by her tireless Christian example and also through various Catholic Charismatic prayer groups and activities. With a real zest for life, Tonie loved to read the Bible, pray, dance, and sing especially with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, friends and family.
