She married Raymond Boyd in 1955 and the couple had three sons, Lawrence, Raymond and Dana. In 1967 she married Rayburn Conner. Rayburn had two children from a previous marriage, Bart and Kathy. Together, they had a daughter, Christie and their loving home was complete.
Her children will remember her as a strong woman who was a single woman raising three rambunctious boys when being a single mom was not a thing and was certainly frowned upon. Toni picked a good man, Rayburn, to help raise her sons and he picked a good woman to help raise his son and daughter. Together with the addition of their daughter, they raised a very good family. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren more than anything and always did everything she could for them. Grandma was loving, caring, devoted and funny (even when she didn't mean to be.) Her older grandkids will forever cherish their memories of road trips in the motorhome with Grandma, Papa and their cousins. The younger grandkids also have fond memories of traveling with Grandma to fun destinations. Toni enjoyed attending any type of event that they participated in and was there to support and cheer them on.
Antoinette is preceded in death by her spouse, Rayburn Conner; son, Bart Conner; parents, Anthony and Josephine Crapanzano and siblings, Sarah Moran, Rosa Lee Cardella, Josephine Dougherty, Sam Crapanzano and Anthony Crapanzano.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Lawrence Boyd and spouse, Vicki, Raymond Boyd III and spouse, Armelyn, Dana Boyd and spouse, Staci, Christie Conner Haney and spouse, Jerry and Kathy Conner Godsey; 16 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews.
