Antonia M. Walton, devoted to family, faith
Antonia M. Walton (née Moudry), 66, of Rehoboth Beach, passed away suddenly Monday, March 31, 2025.
Born Dec. 18, 1958, in Parkville, Md., Toni was the beloved wife and best friend of Larry Walton. A devoted servant of God, she was a cherished member of the congregation at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church in Lewes, where she found strength, purpose, and community.
Toni was a longtime kindergarten teacher at Greenwood School, where she touched the lives of countless children with her warmth, patience, and joyful spirit. She was passionate about nurturing others, not only in the classroom but in her everyday life. Her days were filled with devotion, crocheting, tending her garden, caring for her loyal cats, and being a steadfast support to friends and family alike.
Her greatest devotion, however, was to her beloved husband, Larry, with whom she shared a life of deep love, laughter, and unwavering companionship.
Toni was the loving daughter of the late Richard and Julia Moudry of Parkville, Md. She is survived by her siblings, Raymond (Debbie), Francis (Nancy), Richard II (Pam), Elizabeth Seling (James) and Matthew Moudry. She was preceded in death by her brother, Mark Moudry.
She is also survived by her stepson, Matthew Walton (Erin), who brought her much joy and pride, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends, who will miss her tremendously.
A visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m., Saturday, April 12, at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church, 152 Tulip Drive, Lewes, followed by an 11 a.m. Mass of Christian burial. A luncheon will immediately follow the Mass at Village Improvement Association, 415 N. Boardwalk, Rehoboth Beach.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church, Lewes.
Toni will be remembered for her faith, her fierce kindness, and her quiet yet profound impact on those fortunate enough to know her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, generosity, and a life well-lived.
