I was so shocked & saddened to hear about the death of Maria. I still remember the day we met back in Junior High School. She was always one of the most pleasant, easy-going, kind friends that I had. I remember one occasion when I was teasing her about the fact she was always the best dressed girl in school. She really did have a way to put you at easy and was always available to listen if you had a problem.
I feel bad now that we didn't continue our friendship after graduation.
I still remember your birthday Maria- February 2.
God bless you.

So shocked and saddened to hear of Maria's passing. We worked together in the maintenance Department in Embreeville Center. It's ironic that she has been on my mind lately. Really wanted to catch up with her. We would have had a good time reminiscing about our time at Embreeville.

Toth family. May her memory be eternal, and may the ground that covers her lay softly. I always enjoyed sharing with her after services, or whenever we met at the market etc. May she rest in peace and may the Lord grant you all strength at this time. The memory is never gone but it DOES get softer as time passes. In Jesus' love. Mrs. Demetra Patukas

This is simply the truth...Maria was Friendship School. She touched so many children's lives during her 20 years. She was truly the best representation of the CASD staff. Kind,caring and willing to help anyone who asked. How blessed we were to have her. May God bless her family and friends. She was one of a kind.

Dear Ruzchak and Toth Families,
I was so very sorry to hear about Maria. She lived just up the road from my grandparents while growing up, and went to school with my brother. On the few occasions I was in her company, she was always very kind and sweet. I know she will be remembered fondly, and dearly missed by all who knew her. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and may all of your warm memories help to ease your sorrow. Rest in peace, Maria; may your memory be eternal.

Sincerely,
Lisa Curry

Rarely do you meet a person with whom you instantly connect but Maria was an exception. Our beloved Mrs.Toth was one of those genuinely kind and caring people who made you feel welcome and valued as soon as she greeted you. The Friendship Family has lost a truly good soul. May she rest in peace knowing she made a difference in the lives of all of us who were fortunate enough to have met her.

We were so heartbroken to hear about Maria this week... Words cannot even express how sorry we are for your loss.... I just hope hearing how much she touched so many lives can bring you some comfort in knowing how much she was loved by her Friendship family! She literally was the most caring, sweetest and selfless women I knew and was always willing to do anything to help anyone! She always welcomed me with a smile on her face and always asked how my older kids were doing that had moved on to the middle school and HS and I knew she looked after my little guy there now. I always enjoyed talking to her and even knowing she had been going through so much the last couple of years battling cancer she never complained and still always shined with her beautiful smile! That is how I will always remember her..... ❤ She will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her! I hope she realized how many lives she touched on such a positive way..She truly was a beautiful person. God Bless you and your family at this difficult time! We will miss you Maria!!

Still in shock over the news of my dear friend. Maria and u were friends for five years. She trained me when I came to Reeveville and was always there when help was needed. We spent many lunches at Morton's pizza laughing and having a good time. I'm going to hold in my heart the last time I sat and spoke with Maria snd that was in the bench outside Friendship. Maria, u will always hold a special place in my heart for you and will never forget your kind hearted smile. May god protect you and keep you at peace. Mike, the boys, the grandkids may you find peace and guidance during this difficult. Know that Maria loved you all, she always spoke lovingly about her family.

Maria's loving nature and the ability to find the good in others truly represented the name of our school: Friendship. All of us were blessed to have Maria in our life. She will be missed, and the halls of our school will be a little quieter. However, her love, light and laughter will always keep the halls of Friendship Elementary forever shining brightly.

God released a dear, beautiful and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend from the cancer that she so bravely fought. Though she was an angel here on earth, God knew it was her time to be free of the pain that restrained her. He lifted her up and gave her wings so that she can fly and watch over all of those who love her. Maria, you are free and will forever be a beautiful angel and a blessing to us all. You are missed, but your love and laughter will forever fill our hearts.

If you had anything to do with Friendship Elementary School over the past 20+ years you will remember Maria Toth. From her warm greeting to resolving small and large issues, Maria made us feel that someone saw us, heard our concerns, cared about them, and knew how to help resolve them. We left Maria's presence feeling cheered by her optimistic professionalism. We will miss her so muc
