Toni Cropper Waldrep, age 63, passed away in Port Arthur, Texas on Thursday, October 28, 2021, due to complications from Covid-19. Toni was born August 25, 1958, in Port Arthur, Texas to Gene and Barbara (Dwyer) Cropper.
A 1977 graduate of Port Neches-Groves High School, Toni married the love of her life, Roland G. Waldrep, on May 12, 1978, with whom she had two children and one grandchild. She was a doting wife, mother, and grandmother. Toni had a passion for serving others. She loved to cook and always made more than enough to feed any guests who happened to be visiting. Toni also was an avid supporter of Nederland High School football (where her children attended school) and could be seen, along with her husband, at every home game. She was a member of Gulf Coast Camaros and enjoyed going to car shows and cruising in her riverside blue Camaro 2SS. Most of all, Toni loved spending quality time with family and friends. Toni was also a parishioner of Immaculate Conception/St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church.
Toni was preceded in death by her parents.
