Toni was born in Westminster, London, United Kingdom and was within the sound of Big Ben. Her parents were William Hobart and Elizabeth Amelia Chambers Hobart. Toni attended St. Saviour’s Church of England School and Clapham Commercial College. She worked as a secretary.

Toni immigrated to the United States at age 19. She married L.D. Robinson of Bowling Green, Kentucky. When L.D. was recalled by the United States Air Force, Toni became a military wife.

After L.D.’s retirement, the family moved to Florida. L.D. taught at Winter Park High School.

Toni worked as a social worker for the state of Florida, and was promoted to supervisor for the federal and state child support enforcement program for the district – including Orange, Osceola, Brevard and Seminole counties.
