Antoinette “Toni” Kaiser, age 82, who departed this life on September 7, 2025, at Boone Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. She was born on August 11, 1943, in St. Louis, Missouri, Toni was the cherished daughter of the late Ardry Eli Atkins and Henrietta J. Horstdaniel.

Toni was united in marriage to the love of her life, Russell E. Kaiser III, on December 22, 1990. Together, they shared 35 beautiful years filled with unwavering support, companionship, and love. Russell survives her, holding close the countless memories they created side by side.

Toni’s greatest joy in life was her family. She is also survived by her nephew Billy Atkins and his wife Robin of Hallsville, MO; sisters-in-law Christine Torreyson and husband Don of Centralia, MO, and Melody Crigler and husband David of Springfield, MO; brothers-in-law Gregg Kaiser and wife Keena of Mississippi, Rodney Kaiser and wife Linda of Kansas City, MO, and Bradley Kaiser and wife Debbie of Florida; her dear aunt Bernice; her three grandchildren Tristan Rohmann, Elam Scarborough, and Emmett John Scarborough; along with many nieces, extended family members, and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her son Michael Rohmann, and her brother Billy Dean Atkins.

Toni was a woman of quiet strength and deep compassion. She was a dedicated advocate for individuals living with multiple sclerosis, devoting much of her time to raising awareness and supporting her husband in his own journey with the condition.

She was also a devoted fan of Missouri’s beloved teams—the Missouri Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs. Whether cheering from the stands or from home, Toni’s loyalty never wavered.

Above all, Toni will be remembered for the love she shared so freely—with her family, her many friends, and the cats she adored.
