Ebony was a vibrant, jovial, carefree spirit and a lifelong resident of Beaver Falls, PA. Professionally, Ebony was employed by various local agencies in the healthcare field.

Toni’s love for the Lord and the Church started at the tender age of four. One Sunday, Pastor John Davis was giving out “pray hours” for the noonday pray time, and when he finished, Toni stood up and said most politely, “ You didn’t give me one” he smiled down at her and replied, “ You can pray with your mother, on her hour!” She clapped her tiny little hands together, smiled, and said, “Thank you.” Every day thereafter, at 10 o’clock, she would say, “It’s time to pray, Mommie, and she did this until she started school.
In addition to going to church, Toni also enjoyed sports (especially football), movies, theater, slots at the casino, concerts, shopping, eating out with family, and just being with her children.
