For over 30 years Toni proudly volunteered at the St. Charles Senior Center. She was known as the St. Charles Dancing volunteer. You would often see her dancing, music or not, around the center and always with a smile. When she wasn't volunteering she enjoyed traveling, word search puzzles, reading, crocheting, cooking, and spending time with her family and friends. She loved being her grandchildrens biggest fan and cheering them on at their hockey games and gymnastics meets. Another passion of hers was being a jokester. She loved to laugh and she loved to have fun. Toni also enjoyed scary movies and always looked forward to dressing up for Halloween. Fred Flintstone, a fortune teller, and a scuba diver. These are just a few of her famous memorable costumes over the years. Toni will be missed deeply by her family and friends.
