PHOE-NIX — Toni Broderson Quandt, 55, formerly of Muscatine, passed away Thursday, Oct. 23, 2008, in Phoenix after an extended illness.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been set up for the Muscatine Humane Society.

Mrs. Quandt was born Jan. 10, 1953, in Muscatine, the second of six children to Darlene and Carl Broderson.

She graduated from Muscatine High School in 1971. After graduation, she was a lab tech at Grain Processing Corp. and later married Lloyd Shoppa and had three sons, Alex Shoppa, Beau Shoppa and Casey Shoppa.

After that marriage ended, she supported her family as a welder at International Harvester and Prime Mover in Muscatine.
