IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Toni
Bohac
September 9, 1949 – March 3, 2021
Antoinette "Toni Sue" Susan (Valenti) Bohac was born on September 9, 1949 in Fort Smith, Arkansas to Anthony and Mary Kathryn (Rausch) Valenti and passed away on March 3, 2021 in Lincoln, Nebraska at the age of 71 years, 5 months and 22 days. Toni's folks were split up and she lived between Omaha and Arkansas until the age of 5. Toni attended grade school in Omaha from K-6 th grade, Garland school from 7 th -9 th grade and Seward school from 10 th -12 th grade.
One Summer while putting up hay she went to unload with a farmer (Leo Fiedler) from Garland. His wife, Antonette, had heart issues and he asked if she wanted to stay the summer. Toni stayed and when the summer was up they asked if she wanted to stay forever. She chose to stay forever and they treated her so well. She was so grateful for that opportunity.
In 1965, Toni met Richard (the love of her life) and they dated for two years. Toni had to wait until she was 18 to get married and on September 23, 1967 they were married at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Seward and to this union four children were born. They lived in Omaha for 4 years and then moved to Garland where they spent the rest of their lives together.
Toni was a stay-at-home mom for 36 years. She worked at Walker Manufacturing for 6 months. Toni ran an in-home daycare for 30 years. She was well known for her love of baking and enjoyed making several and all things such as wedding cakes, graduation cakes, kolaches, rolls, pies and many more too numerous to name. Her specialties also included fried chicken, pan pies and noodles. She always made sure everyone had enough to eat and nobody left hungry.
Toni had a heart of gold. She enjoyed crocheting many afghans, scarves and stocking caps. Toni battled many hardships through the years including 13 years of dialysis, heart issues, knees, her hip and her hands. Even though she was in so much pain, she always had a smile on her face. Toni enjoyed shopping, family vacations, baking, spending time with family and friends, eating ice, an occasional margarita, playing games with grandkids and reading cookbooks.
Toni was preceded in death by two infant children; daughter, Becky; mother and father; grandparents; sisters, Christine Dunn, Rosie, Jean Kovar; brother, Sebastian; mother and father-in-law; nephew, Brad Kovar; sisters-in-law, Maggie Valenti and Kathy Fiedler.
