ANN MARYE TOLER

We biked the XTERRA trail together as she was training...so many "endos" for me...she was a true warrior

She personally encouraged me to remain courageous...

...always courageous
...always in my heart

She now knows the face of God. RGS VMI82

She was an inspiration and friend to all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Happy trails.

I cannot believe Spike is gone. She had such a huge presence. And she truly had a heart of gold that touched everyone she met. To the Toler Family, please accept our prayers and deepest condolences.

I got to know Spike back in the days of Briarwood step class and then got to share the joys of having out first children together. My memories are of a vibrant, joyful soul. She will be deeply missed.

Spike was one of the most authentic friends one could ever have. I am so grateful to have known her. Since hearing of her passing I have been shocked and saddened. I have also been remembering our great times at Briarwood, and our trips to New York City. I will miss her so much.

Alan and Garrett, you are in my prayers.

Alan, Garrett & family,

Spike was so special to so many!
She touched everyone that knew her.
Her unbridled encouragement waylaid my fear to try mountain biking. I cherish fond memmories with her on the trail at Belle Isle...bruises, laughter, joy.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Alan, Garrett,Ben, Ann and Jim, My heart aches for your loss. I pray that God will give you comfort& peace at this time. You will all have a reunion
with our Lord some day. Love & Prayers, Mary Battles-Jim's mother in law.

I have so many fond memories of Ann Marye. When we built our home across the street, she quickly became our “fourth daughter.” She and Sherri were inseparable during their school years. We loved having her travel with us and it's so difficult to comprehend that she is gone. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. In the days ahead, may you find some comfort in your many happy memories.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Alan
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Alan and Garrett, You are in our hearts and prayers. John & Julie Williams

I worked with Ann years ago. She was a real character...in the best possible sense of the word; great laugh, impish sense of humor. A good friend to all around her. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Alan, Garrett and Family - So very saddened to hear this news. Our thoughts are with you. Sending love and prayers to all of you.

Garrett,
We are all so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family.

Mr. & Mrs. Garrett & Family, Ann was such a special friend. She had the greatest sense of humor and her laughter was contagious. I have such fond memories of our times together. Please know that I am keeping all of you in my prayers during this sad time.

So sad. A vibrant women gone. My thoughts and prayers to the Toler and Garret families. I wish my tears would ease the angst. The Carytown family sends love and condolences.

Garrett and Toler Families. I am sorry for your loss. Ann was a great friend and classmate. I have nothing but happy memories of Ann and always looked forward to seeing her at reunions and other Class of '80 events. She always made me smile. Ann will be missed, but not forgotten.

Becky Hunley

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Spike. I have fond memories of our times at Briarwood. It was always a pleasure not only to have in our classes, but to know her as a warm and fun person. Her light will always shine in my heart. I offer my most sincere condolences to her family at this time.

Ben and family/friends of Ann: I send my sincere condolences and I lift heartfelt prayers for you in your loss. Though these coming days will be sad and difficult, stand strong in faith that you will meet again in Glory.

Ann's sense of humor was legendary. Our neighborhood "Bunco" girls will never forget the time Ann stole my gag ugly snowman Christmas gift - and left a ransom note! When we finally discovered Ann was the culprit, we filled her yard with maybe 20-30 snowmen, at night, with Halloween decorations on. We had so much fun and she brought us all together with this beautiful memory. Ann will be terribly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her. Prayers and peace especially to Garrett and her entire family. Karen Long & family

The Garrett and Toler Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of Ann Marye. I was lucky enough to meet and get to know her as a friend of our shared friends, Pam and Melissa. I loved her sense of humor and sharp wit. May memories of your happy times together bring you strength and comfort during the difficult days ahead. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Garrett and Toler (pleural) families- We live next door and are so deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Ann's passing. Your families are in our prayers and we will always remember Ann riding her bike up our boulders from the backyard up to the driveway. Only Ann would attempt that! We will miss her strong, confident, caring, loving presence. We feel her absence. God bless you all. Sharon, Steve, Kyle , Ryan and Bryce

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Ben and family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and guide you during this difficult time.

Garrett & Alan, please know you are in our thoughts & prayers at this sad time. Ann was such a joy & I absolutely loved talking to her about everything from traveling to cycling. Peace and many blessings to you both.
Fondly,
Lisa Geisz & family

God bless Ann. God be with the Garrett and Toler families at this time. My sincere condolences.

Ben, Ann, and family, My heart is so saddened by your loss. There are no words that can comfort or express the feelings. May the peace of the Lord be with you all.

So many of us are deeply saddened Ann's passing. We shared many fond memories from our school days. My thoughts and prayers are with all those whose lives, like mine, Ann touched.

Ann and I were close friends at Mary Baldwin and did much growing up together in those years. Her smile and laughter were ever-present in those years and every time I spoke with her over the years. We had recently reconnected through Facebook and had planned a phone call catch up session. I am so very sorry for the loss you must all feel. Much love and prayers to you all, Julie Slavik Budnik

Ben, Ann , Jim, Alan, and Garrett my deepest sympathies to you all on the loss of Ann Marye. She was such a special person to so many of us and we will all miss her greatly. She always had a warm, carefree smile and couldn't wait to have a good time. Our time at GHS was so much fun and at reunions it was as if we had never graduated, we all just picked up where we left off. The fond memories are endless and will last a lifetime. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kelly Hasty Kale

Mr. and Mrs. Garrett, Jim, and the Toler family,

Mr. & Mrs. Garrett, Jim, Garrett and Alan,

I don't have words to express my feelings right now other than, I am so sorry for your loss. Ann was a very special person. I will always have memories of the times we spent as close friends when we were younger. It seems that a lot of times we think about people and keep putting off getting in touch and then you find that there is nothing more important than family and friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Anne Carter Brown Coates

Mr.&Mrs. Garrett,Jim & Toler Family,
Nelson and I hold such wonderful memories of time spent with Ann that will never be forgotten. Our prayers are with you all.

My deepest condolences to Spike's family. I'll always remember her humor and strong work ethic -she was such a motivator to so many over the years. Lifting my prayers to the family for strength, peace and courage for the days ahead.

Ann was such a beautiful and special person. I cannot remember a time when I didn't feel better after seeing her. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

Garrett, it saddens me to hear about the loss of your mother. I always enjoyed talking with her at school events-she was always willing to help and just hang out and talk. We must have been on the same driving schedule last year because we would always see her little blue car with all the stickers and the bike on top on the way to school. She looked so cool and carefree...I admired her for that. Please know that we will be thinking of you and praying for you during this difficult time.

Ben, Ann, Garrett and the entire Toler family....I graduated with Ann - grew up with her. So very sad. She will continue to be an inspiration for all that she has touched with happiness, success, and encouragement to be your best. Many prayers you way. Delia "Dede Lemon" Hudgins

Dear ones, we love the Garrett family as our own and this loss is devastating. We send all our love and deepest affection from the Joseph T. Buxton family of Urbanna, Mary, Chip, Liz and Wakefield.

Garrett, my heart was saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. I am praying for you during this difficult time.

It seems like yesterday that we were the little girls playing in the playground at Botetourt. Ann will always be a special part of memories of growing up in Gloucester and her legacy will never be forgotten.

Condolences to the family, friends and everyone who's lives were enriched by her smile & laughter.
Keep the wheels turning, Spike. You will never be forgotten!

My sincerest condolences to the Garrett and Toler families and all of Ann's friends and associates. Of course this news is a complete shock to me. Ann had a significant impact on my life and for that she will never be forgotten. Thank you Ann.

Ben and Ann
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
