Frances "Toni" Schwarz

Frances "Toni" Schwarz, age 79, of Bel Air, Maryland, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2024, in Bel Air. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, she was the beloved daughter of Lee and Frances (McDowell) Bremer and the devoted wife of Seibert A. Schwarz.

Toni was an active member of her community, proudly serving in the Order of the Eastern Star - Towson and Harford Chapters. Her faith was central to her life, and she was a dedicated parishioner of St. Margaret Catholic Church.

After retiring, Toni found joy in giving back to others, volunteering for many years at Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC). Known for her warm heart and caring nature, she made a lasting impact on everyone she encountered.

Toni had a lifelong passion for reading, often getting lost in the pages of her favorite books. She also had a well-known sweet tooth, with a special love for chocolate and ice cream, which brought her much happiness.

She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.

In addition to her husband, Toni is survived by her daughter, Holly C. (Jason M.) Klarman; son, S. Christopher (Katie M.) Schwarz; grandchildren, Jackson T. Klarman, Aubrey L. Klarman, Lilly N. Schwarz, Evie G. Schwarz; sister, Carole (Lew) C. Gross; brother-in-law, Robert A. (Barbara) Schwarz; nieces, Mary O'Connell, Jill Albrecht and nephew, Phillip Schwarz.
