Throughout her life she was a strong, nurturing, kind woman. She loved her church and always strived to make a difference even if it was behind the scenes, because she was shy. Toni took pride in being a mother. The love she shared with her daughters will forever be cherished. Not only was she a "Mama Bear" to Olivia, she was also very protective of her siblings, whom she adored. Toni loved crafts and working with her Cricut. Her favorite color to use was "Toni's Teal." Toni's best friend was Anthony; she always tried to be the best wife for him. Toni was a hero even in death. At the young age of 18 she vowed to donate her organs to those in need and fulfilled that vow thereby saving many lives.
Toni is survived by her loving husband Anthony Silva; daughter Olivia Leigh Silva; parents Krystal Lynne and Michael Perkins; brother Kaine Perkins; sister Kali Perkins; grandparents Camille "Nana" Moore, Walter Moore and Gwendolyn and Hulbert Perkins; great-grandmother Helen Moore; aunt Stephanie Harris; cousin Adria Cortez and many close friends and family.
