In Loving Memory of Toni Dianne Parks

Toni Dianne Parks, was born on February 3, 1949, in Orlando, Florida. On November 21, 2024, while surrounded by her loving family, she peacefully transitioned to her Heavenly Father’s home, after a long illness.

Toni was the cherished daughter of Harold and Doris Severns. She graduated from Oak Ridge High School, Class of 1967. In May 1996, she married the love of her life, Wayne Parks, and together they shared 30 years of love, laughter, and unwavering commitment to each other. 

A successful and dedicated realtor, Toni loved working with her clients and exploring new neighborhoods. Her passion for serving others extended far beyond her professional life. She participated in numerous mission trips to Peru and had a heart for youth ministry. Toni faithfully served in the area of youth ministry, assisting youth pastors and often sponsoring events for the youth at her home. She had an amazing heart for young people and made a lasting impact on their lives.

Toni’s adventurous spirit led her to travel extensively, including a memorable safari in Africa. She also had a love for photography, capturing beautiful memories of her travels to share with family and friends. Closer to home, she cherished her annual family trips to Amelia Island and found great joy in spending time by the water, whether dining by the ocean or admiring lake views.

Toni’s faith and family were her greatest treasures. After years of prayer and patience, she was blessed with her daughter, Gabi, whom she adored and proudly supported in every endeavor.

Toni is survived by her devoted husband, Wayne Parks; her daughter, Gabi Parks; and her brothers, Keith Severns and Kevin Severns.

Toni will be remembered for her compassion, dedication to her family, and unwavering faith in the Lord. Toni touched the hearts of all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and faith.
