Toni's greatest joy was her family. She cherished the time she spent watching and cheering for the kids in all their activities. She seldom missed an event. She particularly loved family parties, living downtown and all that it offered, cheering for the Utes and Jazz, shopping with her girls, and lunch dates with "the sisters".
