Toni Ann was a beautiful soul. She was a free spirited, wild child, hippie. She had so many unique qualities and was one of a kind! Her love for the spirit world and supernatural always made for a good and interesting time.
She led her way through life with the motto "Let Go and Let God". She was hilarious, lived life big and laughed her way through life. She always said if you want to make God laugh, try to make your own plans. Her laugh sure was contagious.
She was a 1971 graduate of Brookfield East High School in Wisconsin. She had a long career as a very talented hairstylist. She loved doing up-dos and color. It came so naturally for her to make others the best version of themselves.
She committed her days to being of service to others and lived a life of sobriety. For 43 of those years, she lived the AA program lifestyle daily as a proud, sober woman. She attended and ran meetings, sponsored countless women, and shared her story to help others find success. She was feisty and fierce, but always sought peace. Because she found value in challenging conversations, honesty was critical to her.
She wanted those she knew to celebrate life and live in the moment. Embrace the joy of living! So please take the time to show kindness to others (and yourself), give back to your community, dance and celebrate in her honor! Toni Ann will be missed dearly by all who had the honor of knowing her.
