I have so many wonderful memories of SIster Toni Ann. I met her back in the 1970s thru a mutual friend. I was her hairdresser for years and years and we had such a wonderful time together. She was quite an energetic woman, and so pleasant all the time. Se always had a smile on her face and a willingness to give of herself. She helped so many people, and always with a smile. We all loved the stories of her baseball days, and we treated to her baseball cards, too. She will always hold a special place in my heart.Test in peace, Toni Ann.

I will always have fond memories of Sister Toni. She and Sister Donna were my neighbors for nine years. She was a loving and unique adult role model for my young daughters as she helped me navigate the trials of being a single parent. She called them her "little darlings." They are both mothers now and remember Sr. Toni fondly. She did so much to help others, there isn't enough room to tell all the stories. Rest peacefully, Sr. Toni. You've earned it! Love, Lisa Haas, Jessica Copeland, Megan Hardin
