Mrs. Toney was a retired public school teacher and went on to teach many years at Adams County Christian School. She was a very active member and Sunday School teacher at Springfield Baptist Church.  Griff and Phyllis traveled the world and completed their bucket list.  She enjoyed traveling, fishing, bee keeping, and taking care of her animals.  She spent many days watching her children and grandchildren play sports and almost never missed a game.  She was the best wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend anyone could ask for.  Our hearts are broken, but we know she is with her Lord and Savior.
