Born on July 15, 1954, Toni began her career in banking when she was young. As an adult, she returned to school and earned her high school diploma from Lexington High School. She then pursued a 22-year career as a Mental Retardation Specialist with the Babcock Center, while also dedicating 18 years as a pizza maker prep specialist with Pizza Hut. After retiring, Toni spent her time with friends and family, focusing on her beloved grandchildren.

In 1974, Toni married Richard Taylor Crosby, Sr. After 30 years together, they divorced. She is survived by her children, Richard Taylor Crosby, Jr. "Little Ricky", Tracy Marie Lovato (Luigi), Tiffany Nicole Crosby Zimbelman (Bradley), and Rachel Meggs Sharp (Aaron).

Toni was known for her ability to make lifelong friends and for getting along with everyone she met. She was always there to offer advice or simply listen, helping anyone she could within her means. Toni had a great love for the beach, especially Edisto Island, where she spent many summer vacations with her family. She loved searching the beach from sun up to sun down for shark teeth and being neck-deep in the ocean searching for sand dollars.
