Obituary of Antonie Stahl

Toni Stahl, 97 years old, of Wildwood Crest, NJ passed away peacefully on Friday, February 26, 2021, almost One Month from her 98th Birthday. Born March 21, 1923 in Munich, Germany to her Father Anton Eckl and her Mother Anna Frank Eckl. Toni was born right before The Great Depression and grew up in Germany during World War II. She was sponsored by her Aunt to move to the United States when she was in her twenties. After settling in Wildwood, she started working at a company making blue jeans. She taught herself English while she was at work, learning a few words a day. Toni married Jacob C. Stahl who had received an Honorable Discharge from the US Army while serving during World War II as a Technician. He later went on to retire from the Philadelphia Orchestra as an accomplished Violinist. Toni was a fixture on the Wildwood Boardwalk for decades. Toni would ride her bike in the morning and walk the same boardwalk in the evening, every day, even in the snow and rain. Returning at the end of her trips to happily sit on her deck and watch the ocean and enjoy the sunshine. Anyone that has met or was friends with Toni over her 97 years of life can vouch for her "Great Spirit" and "Beautiful Personality". She will be sorely missed. Toni is survived by her Nephew Hans in Munich, Germany and locally by her Nephew's Earle and Erik Collins and their families. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 there will not be any services immediately. When the time seems right, we will notify family and friends for a "Celebration of Toni's Life".
