She was predeceased by her parents, Kenny and Phyllis Avery, sister Debra Perez, and brother Billy Avery. Toni is also survived by numerous Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and friends that all love her dearly. Keavy Avery, 5, says she loves her Aunt Toni because she always cooked her food and let her come in her room and play. McShali Avery, 12, says that when Aunt Toni cooked it was like a Chef's Kiss. Aden Avery, 10, says that Aunt Toni was always nice to him and made him good food. Twila will always remember Toni's laugh. David is always going to remember those Jose Cuervo nights. Kenny says he will always remember Toni's generosity to every person that she knew. Kendi said that her Aunt Toni had the biggest heart. Cindy is always going to remember how much Toni scarified to make sure that everyone else was taken care of, and will never forget how every time she tried to cook for the kids, they would say "EWW" why didn't you let Aunt Toni cook!!! Hayley will always remember Aunt Toni Ponytail and Aunt NoNo that always said YES! Kasi Avery says You have always been MY person, always. I love you so much. Thank you for everything you've sacrificed so that I could pursue my dreams! Toni was someone that was loved by every person that met her. She had a heart of gold. There was never any judgement from Toni, she accepted everyone for who they were, she cared and loved everyone deeply. Toni loved country music, her favorites were Conway Twitty and Blake Shelton. She loved watching CSI and she loved Panda Bears, but there was nothing or nobody that Toni loved more than all her nieces and nephews, to her, they were her babies and that's all she needed. Toni Worked at Garland Answering Service from 1976 – 1989 then moved to Atlasta Answering Service in Mesquite, Tx from 1989 until she passed. The family has made the hard decision to not have a service, memorial, or viewing. Toni loved Panda Bears, so if in lieu of flowers, you can donate to a Panda conservation of your choice in Toni's name. I'm sure she would absolutely love that.
