TONI ANNETTE GRIJALVA
January 27, 1955 - April 8, 2019
Toni was called home to be with the Lord on April 8, 2019 at the age of 64.
Toni was born in Bakersfield, CA., to John and Jeanne Kangles. She enjoyed working side by side with her family at the family business. Toni's passion was helping people, if you needed her she was there for you. She loved her dogs Lady Bird and Cooper. She loved all animals especially horses.
Toni's pride and joys were her granddaughters Alyssa and Courtney, they were her world. They would have fun singing in the car, shopping and eating spaghetti tacos! She was so proud of them and loved attending their softball games and rodeos.
Toni is survived by her daughter Stefanie and her husband Curtis Jones Jr, granddaughters Alyssa and Courtney Jones of Bakersfield, CA. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Toni was preceded in death by her father John A. Kangles and mother Jeanne E. Kangles.
Graveside services will be held Friday, April 19, 2019 at Hillcrest Memorial Park, 9101 Kern Canyon Rd., Bakersfield, CA at 10:00 am. We will always carry your memory in our hearts.

Dear Stefanie, Curtis, Alyssa, and Courtney,
I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of your mother and grandmother's death, apparently due to the unexpected scratch by the cat under her car. I had just recently gotten reconnected with her with the help of Cindy Beckham, and was enjoying talking with her by phone very much. She was such a sweet and loving lady, and I share your sorrow and sense of loss. I am comforted by the fact that we did get to reunite by phone before this terrible tragedy took her life too soon. She brought me up to date about you, her loved ones, and she was so happy to be mom and grandma to all of you. She also told me about her little dog that you gave her and about her involvement at the care facility. If she had to die, I'm glad she died while feeling so happy and living such a fulfilled life. I'm confident she is resting in peace with God and watching over all of you as one of God's special angels. Love is eternal, and her love will always be with all of you. I will always remember her fondly, and I hope you'll contact me sometime, especially if I can be of help to you in any way. May God's love comfort you at this sad time and give you strength to carry on as she would want you to do.
Your cousin, Cyndy Arnold (816-804-1361)
