Toni K. Paul

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Toni Kay Paul, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Toni peacefully left this world on July 14, 2026, at her home. Born on July 6, 1956, in Lima, Ohio, to Richard and Barbara Miller, she lived a life full of love and laughter, leaving an indelible mark on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Toni was a proud graduate of Wapakoneta High School, class of 1975. Her journey led her into a career as a sewing machine operator, where her dedication and hard work eventually saw her rise to the position of a liaison for various companies in the auto industry. Her colleagues remember her as a warm and supportive presence, always ready with a smile and a helping hand.

On July 8, 1977, Toni married the love of her life, Lynn Paul. Together, they built a life filled with love, adventures, and shared dreams, celebrating 46 beautiful years of marriage before Lynn's passing. Toni's love for her family was unparalleled, and she found immense joy in the company of her children, Dion (Karla) and Richard (Tonia). Her legacy continues through her five cherished grandchildren, Brynnan, Dylan, Remi, Paisley, and Lennox, whom she adored beyond measure.

Toni was predeceased by her beloved husband, Lynn Paul, and her parents, Richard and Barbara Miller. She is survived by her devoted children and grandchildren, as well as her brothers, Scott (Kathy) and Gary (Margie), who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

An avid movie buff, Toni found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was watching a classic film, sharing laughter with friends, or cheering on her granddaughters at their sporting events. Her warm and fun personality brought light to every room she entered, and her infectious laughter was a true reflection of her generous spirit.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion have been a source of comfort and strength.

Toni's life was a testament to love, resilience, and joy. She will be dearly missed but forever remembered by all who knew her. May her spirit live on in the hearts of those she touched, and may she rest in eternal peace.

A Celebration of Toni's Life will be held from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m., Saturday, August 8, 2026 at the American Legion Post 330 Annex Hall.  The Annex is located at 214 S. Wagner Avenue, Wapakoneta.
