Toni was born to Anthony and Lauretta Viapiano on 4 December 1926 in Harrisburg, PA, where she was raised and graduated from John Harris HS. In 1948 Toni married the love of her life, John Lawn, and they raised four children together. The wife of an active duty Servicemember, Toni, and her family, lived at numerous locations throughout the United States and in Germany, until she and John retired in Arizona. Toni loved lively discussions, enjoyed sewing clothes, and was an excellent cook.
She is survived by three of her children, Joseph, Lawrence, and Diana, six grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. She was pre-deceased by her husband John and daughter Barbara.
Toni requested a private funeral and burial. Final arrangements are being made by the family and will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Toni’s memory to ‘The Franciscan Mission Associates’ (https://franciscanmissionassoc.org/).
