Barbara “Toni” Warner White

The world became a much brighter place on July 6, 1940. The firecracker, Barbara (Toni) Warner Spry entered the world that day. Unbeknownst to anyone earthly, she would become a loving, caring, nurturing daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. Her fun loving, uplifting, sassy spirit could fill a room with smiles and laughter. If you knew her, you had a friend forever. She had the perfect combination of sweet and strong. She was “Momma Toni” to many. A force to be reckoned with and strong business woman one minute but laughing with you the next.

She left this world passing into the next on Sunday, January 29, 2023

Toni worked for the school system, then moved on to be a loan officer at the bank but spent most of her career as the Senior Property Manager at Centro Property Group.
