Tonie Renner Gentile, 52, of Rocky Hill, died on February 7, 2023, following a 7-month battle with breast cancer
Tonie was well known in the Emergency Services community working over 25 years with EMS providers across the U.S.
“She was diagnosed in July 2022. We were told initially that this was something that she was going to be able to live with and it wasn’t terminal. We had a lot of hope, but the cancer moved so quickly, and the treatment didn’t work. We didn’t catch it fast enough”
“If we had known a month or two earlier it could have made a difference,” her husband Mark added. “It’s something I’ve heard a lot since"
👉 “She was perfectly healthy before the diagnosis”
