Toni Lynn Hester is forever young on February 7, 2025.  Toad, as we loved to call her, came into this world fast and she lived her life like that.  Independent and strong, and a little defiant, she made her way through elementary school, making many friends and extended her family beyond just her relatives.  She grew into an extra ordinary young woman, with a very old soul.  She did ROTC from her freshman to her senior year.  You know her…her frame.  She was so tiny, but lord she was mighty!  She excelled in the agility courses, and we were so proud she found her place with them.  After graduation, she got to experience college life at MTSU.  Toad was always adventurous.  She loved the outdoors, and her favorite things were boating, camping, fishing, swimming, and hiking.  And music…she loved all genres. That girl could dance!  She was always wanting to ride motorcycles and horses. Eventually, Toni got to meet the love of her life.  Her beautiful baby boy.  She never loved anyone more than Rylen.  She spent her time as a mother making sure Rylen knew he was loved, and she cherished him like all mothers do.

Toni will always be remembered by her loving family which includes her parents, Leslie and Sherry Hester, her son Rylen Hester, her maternal grandfather Carl Stewart, her paternal grandparents, Wayne and Jerrie Hester and so many other family and friends.

Visitation with the Hester family will be at Woodfin Memorial Chapel, Monday, February 17, 2025, from 4:00 until 8:00pm. Funeral services will be 12:00pm Tuesday at Woodfin Memorial Chapel. Burial will follow in the New Beechgrove Cemetery with family and friends serving as pallbearers.
