Toni Lynn Nelson, 30, of Sweet Home, Oregon died Wednesday, August 12, at her home. Toni was born April 26, 1985 to Steve and Coletta Nelson in Lebanon, Oregon.

She was one of a kind. She enjoyed floating the South Santiam River, hanging out with friends, and crafting of all types. She loved her pets. She had a medley of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds and even a bearded dragon and a degu. She had a big heart and would do anything for anyone, even if it meant sacrificing for herself.

Toni will be remembered every day for her picturesque memory and animated sense of humor. She loved to make others laugh.

Those who will carry on Toni’s memory include: her parents, Steve and Coletta Nelson; sister Rhawnie Hilchey, brother-in-law Ted Hilchey; niece Khouri Hilchey; and cousin Ryan Noffsinger, whom she considered a brother, along with the many people she touched throughout her life.

Toni is at peace and in a better place as she truly deserves. We will continue to love her every day of our lives. The celebration of Toni’s life will be held August 22, 2015 at 12:30 p.m.; River Bend County Park 45931 Santiam Hwy, Foster, Oregon.

Memorial Contributions can be made in Toni’s name to Safe Haven Humane Society.

Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
