Toni Devault Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Toni Sue Devault, 50, of Omer, Michigan, passed away peacefully at her home on August 29, 2025. She was born on December 27, 1974, in Saginaw, Michigan, the daughter of Michael W. Ziembo and the late Marjorie M. Tomich.

Toni grew up in Twining, Michigan and graduated from Arenac Eastern High School. She went on to study psychology at Delta College. A woman of many talents, Toni was truly a jack of all trades in her youth. She later devoted many years to working in health insurance before joining the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino after returning to her hometown from Sterling Heights with her longtime partner of 12 years, Ronald Bilbrey.

Toni lived life with creativity, warmth, and a spirit of curiosity. She was an artist at heart, with a love for oil painting, gardening, canning, and repurposing treasures into something new. She found joy in nurturing her flowers, caring for animals, and marveling at the natural world. Known for her uncanny knack for finding four-leaf clovers, Toni embraced life's little wonders. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she delighted in decorating, celebrating, and creating memories with her loved ones.

She loved her family deeply, especially her son Shaun, and was proud to be "Crazy Aunt Toni," a role she embraced with humor and affection. Her nieces and nephews were endlessly dear to her, and she poured love and laughter into every moment spent with them. She also shared her home with her beloved cats and dog, who brought her constant joy.

Toni is survived by her son, Shaun M. Devault; her significant other, Ronald Bilbrey; her father, Michael W. Ziembo; her sister, Laura (David) Ziembo; and her brother, Michael J. (Michelle) Ziembo. She will be lovingly remembered by her nieces and nephews: Ashley (Jason) Ziembo-Nichols, Kenneth Ziembo, Travis (Mackenzie) Benjamin, Dalton Benjamin, Colten (Jackye) Lemmer, Michael D. (Kelsey) Ziembo, Alexandria (Adam) Cunningham, and Michaela (Brennen) Ziembo. Toni also leaves behind great-nieces and great-nephews: Fisher Nichols, Penelope Ziembo, Kathryn Ziembo, Samuel Ziembo, Scarlett Lemmer, Charolette Decraene, and Ellouise Decraene.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Marjorie (Tomich) Devault; her brother, Donald R. Ziembo; her maternal grandparents, Marjorie Klopf and Donald Sesler; her paternal grandparents, Julius Ziembo and Charlotte Southworth; and her great-niece, Symphony Ziembo-Nichols.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Toni's life on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Lee-Ramsey Funeral Home – Standish Chapel. Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with a service to follow at 2:00 p.m., with Pastor John Tousciuk presiding. Cremation will take place following services.

The family warmly invites all who knew and loved Toni to join them for a Celebration of Life gathering at her nephew Kenny Ziembo's home located at 2430 Kaiser Rd. Pinconning, MI. 48650 at 5:00 p.m. the same day.

Toni's memory will live on in the laughter of her family, the beauty of her creations and the countless lives she touched with her love and kindness
