Tonya A. Eisele

With heavy hearts and fond memories, we announce the passing of Tonya A. Eisele, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, on September 16, 2025. Born on July 17, 1958, in Augusta, GA, Tonya blessed the world with her radiant spirit for 67 remarkable years.

Tonya’s life was filled with fun and laughter. She had an infectious smile, enjoyed being with her family and friends and was usually the source of the laughter. During her lifetime she worked as a dental assistant, ran her own cleaning business and was a resource aid for autistic children in an elementary school.

Tonya was the beloved wife of Steven Eisele, who survives her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Lois Page and her first husband, Peter Arcand. She is survived by her sister Diane Duddley; her children, Kyle Arcand (Brittany Huggins), Carter Arcand and Page Langholz (John Langholz); and her step-children, Ryan Eisele and Breanne Booth (Maxwell Booth); and by five grandchildren and three step-grandchildren. Tonya’s grandchildren brought her true joy and she had many fantastic adventures with them. Tonya loved life and her generous spirit will be dearly missed by all who had the good fortune of knowing her.

The family will receive friends for visitation beginning at 10:00 AM on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at Barr-Price Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Lexington Chapel, located at 609 Northwood Road, Lexington, South Carolina, 29072. The celebration of life will follow at 11:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Mayo Clinic at one of the following addresses: Mayo Clinic Attn: Dr. Neill Graff-Radford, Lewy Body Research Program, 4500 San Pablo Road Jacksonville, FL 32224 or Mayo Clinic Attn: Dr. Tanis Ferman, Lewy Body Research Program,  4500 San Pablo Road Jacksonville, FL 32224.
