She graduated from Olympia High School then proceeded to Eastern Washington University where she graduated with her BA. Here is where she met her handsome husband Glen Wagner. Toni worked at the Bon Marché and then was administrator at Montessori School of Yakima; later on in her marriage she became a homemaker for her children. Toni had many joys and talents. She was always reading novels, was an accomplished pianist, a trivia wizard, and a great baker and cook. She accomplished many things throughout her life. Throughout the 80’s she won the crowns and titles of multiple Miss America pageants, earning scholarship money for college. She was the president of Junior League of Yakima, and she had two incredible children. She was an amazing, beautiful mother that raised her two children, Jacqueline (18) and Austin (20) Wagner, to be proper and successful young adults.

Now her son is a football star at the University of Puget Sound and is pursuing medicine and her daughter is exploring the country of Belgium through Rotary Youth Exchange. Toni was a beloved person.
