Toni L. Walker's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Toni Walker
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Toni Walker, 65, of Rehoboth, Delaware, who passed away peacefully on April 28, 2025.
Born on May 12, 1959, in Wilmington, Delaware, Toni was the beloved daughter of the late Charles and Virginia (Wallace). She was a proud and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend to many. Her warmth, generosity, and boundless love left an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Toni is survived by her four sons: Todd Kuczynski, Michael Kuczynski, Chadd Kuczynski, and Rickie Lake. She was a loving grandmother to Sierra Lake, Ethan Kuczynski, Jonnie Cunningham, Shawn Lake, Renzo Lake, Rocco Lake, and Mikey Kuczynski, and a proud great-grandmother to Nova Lake. She also leaves behind her cherished siblings, Marsha Wallace and Chuck Wallace, along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Rick Lake, and her brother, Bobby Mackinder.
Toni had a deep love for her dogs, Lala and Lexi, and a nurturing spirit that extended far beyond her immediate family. Her home was always open—a place of comfort, laughter, and lifelong memories. Whether offering a helping hand or a place to stay, Toni’s kindness was unwavering. She found immense joy in her family, especially in celebrating her grandchildren’s lives and watching her son Chadd transform her garden into a place of beauty. Summer was her favorite season, often spent by the pool with family and the joyful chaos of grandkids running through the house.
A memorial gathering will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE.
In lieu of flowers, and because of her love of animals, the family kindly requests donations be made to Grass Roots Rescue: https://www.grrde.org/donate.
Toni’s light will live on through the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
