Toni, the daughter of Fred W. Potter and Caroline (Struck) Potter, was born on Sept. 29, 1935. She graduated from Evanston Township High School and from Lake Forest College.

Toni married Clark "Bud" Wright on June 19, 1957, in Evanston. The couple lived in Japan and Alaska while Bud was stationed in the U.S. Navy. They later settled in the Phoenix and Mesa, Ariz., areas, where they lived for 40 years until moving to Sioux City in 2003.

As a homemaker, Toni was most proud of her grandchildren and was completely devoted to her family and friends. She enjoyed traveling with Bud several times to England and also visiting her family. Toni was an active member of P.E.O., first in Mesa, then in Sioux City.
