Annette “Toni” R. Spano, 94, died peacefully on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 surrounded by the love of her family.  Known as Toni by her family and friends, she was born and raised in Lyndhurst, living most of her younger years in town.  She spent over 30 years down the shore in Asbury Park, living this past year with her daughter in Wayne.  Annette was a paralegal for most of her working years.  She loved to play tennis and dance, but above all she enjoyed hosting and cooking from dawn till dusk, for all the holidays.  Her family and countless friends meant so much to her and she made it known to them every time they were together. We cherish these memories in our hearts and find much comfort in knowing she is at peace.
