Toni Allen Obituary

Visit the Greene Funeral Service - West Chapel website to view the full obituary.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Toni Lea Allen, aged 54, who left us peacefully on March 23, 2026, of Grover, North Carolina. Born on March 4, 1972, in Cleveland County, North Carolina, Toni was a beloved daughter, sister, and friend.

Left to cherish Toni's memories are her parents, James Allen and Laura Miller; brothers, Andrew Allen (Melissa), Phillip Allen (Kelly); nephews, Noah Allen and Elijah Allen; nieces, Ashley Truelove, Mikayla Allen, Hannah McSwain, Hope Allen, and Oliva Allen; great nephews, Tanner Truelove and Trent Heiser; great nieces, Kenzlie Allen, Emma Truelove, and Presley Heiser; uncle, Wayne Miller (Luci); cousin, Eric Miller.

Toni was a dedicated supervisor in the retail industry, where her warm personality and strong work ethic shone brightly. She was known for her compassion and kindness, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

In her personal life, Toni had a passion for gardening, particularly her love for flower gardening, which brought her great joy and peace. She cherished cooking for her family and friends, gathering loved ones around her table to share delicious meals and create lasting memories. Her hands were often busy with crochet projects, creating beautiful pieces filled with love and care. Toni also had a soft spot for animals, especially her cherished chickens and cats, who enriched her life immensely.

A memorial service to honor Toni's life will be held at New Buffalo Baptist Church on Friday, April 3, 2026, at 3:00 pm. Prior to the service, there will be a visitation at the church starting at 2:00 pm, providing friends and family an opportunity to come together and celebrate the beautiful life Toni lived. She will then be laid to rest at the church cemetery.

Toni's spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She will be greatly missed but fondly remembered in the stories we share and the love we continue to carry for her.
