June 13, 1954 - October 25, 2020
The delightful Toni Louise Yanchar left the constraints of this world and moved into the great beyond on October 25, 2020.
Born to Theresa Moretti and Allen Friedman on June 13, 1954, in Cleveland, Ohio, she resided here in Colorado.
During her life, Toni did so many fun and exciting things like exploring Europe, Hawaii, Mexico and most dear to her heart, New Mexico, which she adored.
Fun and colorful, Toni was a retired Playboy Bunny; a mentor to young models at several modeling agencies; she was also an accomplished artist, selling art pieces in New York City and many other locales.
She loved the beauty of nature and was an accomplished and trophy-winning fly fisher-woman; she enjoyed camping; and she loved animals very deeply as they were drawn to her gentle spirit. She loved boating on Lake Powell.
But most of all…she loved “love”! and expressed that as she loved others so kindly.
Toni was preceded in death by her parents, as well as, her former husband, Raymond Peter Johnson.
She is survived by many loving family members: Nancy Louge, Patricia Johnson, Michalene & Patrick Lessertand their daughter Rachel, Tami Kowit, Scott & Tracy Tassie, Jacqueline Friedman, and Alex, Sari & Emily Kowit.
