Toni E. Lee, 66, departed this earthly life on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024.
She was born on Sept. 10, 1958. Toni attended Chanute High School until age 15. At that time, she started living the life she wanted. She was a free spirit and did not stay in one place very long in her younger years. She settled down in Denver as an adult.
Toni worked as a heavy equipment operator for the majority of her adult life. She was also known for being an automobile mechanic and loved teaching anyone who wanted to learn how to repair a car.
Her favorite pastimes were playing bingo, going to the casino and spending time with family and friends. She was also quick to take a road trip when she wanted to get away.
She loved her family and friends. She would do anything to help and was always willing to give people a second chance. She would help you when no one else would.
Toni leaves to cherish her memories two children, Lakeisha Hall of Kansas City, Missouri, and Levi Lee of Denver, Colorado; six grandchildren, Caleke and Caliyah Hall of Kansas City, Missouri, Kalen, Kaleal, Jay’den and Ja’Niyah Lee of Denver, Colorado; a great-grandson Malakai Hall of Kansas City, Missouri; a brother, Emery of Topeka; four sisters, Diane, Terri and Dedra of Iola and Cheryl of Denver, Colorado; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Ethel Miller; and two brothers, Norman and Henry Henderson.
A celebration of life will be in Liberty, Missouri. A graveside service will be in Iola at a time to be determined.
