Toni Kay Cummings was born on November 8, 1954, in Fort Worth, Texas to the late James and Billie Harris. Toni grew up in Fort Worth. She was a single mom who worked hard to provide for her two daughters she dedicated her life to raise into the strong women they are today. Toni had various careers and skill sets throughout her life including hanging sheet rock, managing a construction office, to even working on factory assembly lines. Toni ended her career working at Mary Kay Cosmetics. Toni was a strong, caring mother, grandmother, and sister; she would do anything for anyone, but especially for her family. She always put others before herself. Family always comes first was her motto in life. Toni had many hobbies as well, she loved to do numerus craft projects such as flower arrangements or taking junk store finds and making them into something special. She loved to cook and bake, finding random recipes and sharing them with the family during holidays and other events, but would never leave out the required staples like her banana pudding or pink stuff. She will be truly missed, and her memory will be with us forever.
