Summary: Toni Lee Jorgenson, 70, of Williston, ND, passed away June 15, 2025, in Billings, MT. Her funeral service was held June 23, 2025, at the First Lutheran Church in Williston. Burial was in the Riverview Cemetery. Toni Sundby was born on November 12, 1954, to Orvin and Virginia (Thielman) Sundby in Williston. She was raised in Williston, and graduated from Williston High School in 1972. She married Larry Jorgenson on July 3, 1975, in Williston. They had one son, Joseph William (J.W.) Jorgenson. She adored spending time with granddaughters, Mercedes and Marlee, and great-granddaughter, Enslie. While growing up, Toni enjoyed both watching and participating in rodeos and the family trips for the rodeo events. She was involved in barrel racing and goat tying. She worked at the Dairy Queen, Home of Economy, Fountain of Crafts, where she taught classes, and The Message Center. She enjoyed crafting with friends, and sharing her love of crafting with others. She helped with the 4-H kids in her area. She also enjoyed shopping trips with her girlfriends. Larry made sure Toni had everything she needed to enjoy her retirement with her granddaughters and puppy, Annie. They spent their free weekends at the two places they all loved most, the farm and any place they could shop. Toni always thought of others when she shopped as her love language was gift giving. She celebrated every little moment with a gift, big or small and always with love. Toni is survived by husband, Larry; son, Joseph, of Williston; former daughter-in-law, Andrea, of Williston; granddaughters, Mercedes (Austin) Knutson, of Grand Forks, ND, Marlee Jorgenson, of Williston, ND; great-granddaughter, Enslie, of Williston; brothers, Ed Sundby, Wade Sundby, Lynn Sundby, and their spouses and children.
