Corporal Officer Tonya Lenetta Douglas, 66, passed away on September 27, 2022 at Harbor Hospice in Houston, Texas, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 13, 1956 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Sir Alfred Morris Van Fossen Sr, OSJ and Mary Sue Van-Fossen as the oldest of eleven children.
Corporal Humane Officer Tonya Douglas, a 25-year veteran of the Alvin, Texas Police Department retired on March 23, 2021. She departed after a long and courageous battle with metastatic endometrial cancer. While chemotherapy is typically used alongside radiation to fight the endometrial cancer, this was not an option for her. She lived the rest of her life the way she believed it should be. She was surrounded by her family and friends when she left this world.

She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Garrick Van Fossen, Larry Van Fossen, Terry Van Fossen, and Maria Van Fossen.
Services will be held on Wednesday October 5, 2022 at the Chapel of Beresford Funeral Service. Visitation will be from 10 am to 11 am. The funeral will begin at 11am and ends at 12 pm. Burial will follow at Carmen Nelson Bostick “A Garden of GOD” Cemetery. Cemetery service will begin at 1 pm.
The family would like to especially thank the active and retired members of the Alvin Police Dept, COP STOP, Dalia’s Flowers, Crafts and Art, and all her friends who have been so supportive and helpful.
