Toby Rolfe Obituary

Toby Jean Rolfe peacefully passed away in Atwater, California at the age of 87 on September 5, 2025. She was born on March 22, 1938 to Florence and Charles Reeves in Indiana. Toby grew up in the Bay Area of California eventually moving to Merced, California. Prior to meeting the love of her life, Norman Rolfe, Toby was the proprietor of Toby Jean's Take N' Bake Pizza in Merced. Toby and Norman married in September of 1988. She soon became active in Norman's underground pipeline business, Rolfe Construction, working side-by-side with him. Toby also became a contractor in her own right, together with Norman, building numerous homes in the Atwater-Merced area. Norm and Toby built a whole new life together blending seven children, multiple grandchildren and great grandchildren into the Norman Rolfe family legacy. Being a partner, wife, and mother figure to the Rolfe clan was the absolute joy of her life. Toby loved God, enjoyed life, as well as the humor, loyalty, and devotion of her beloved husband, Norman. She was much loved and now is resting in peace. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Valley Children's Hospital, PO Box 1248, Madera, CA 93639. Services will be private.

I always enjoyed seeing Mr. And Mrs. Rolfe come into Taco Bell. They always made my day better. Mrs. Rolfe was an amazing lady. So nice! God bless her and her family. My prayers to Mr. Rolfe and family.

Toby was an absolute joy to be around. She was sweet and kind and always had good things to say about everyone. I know she will be greatly missed. So happy I got to be a part of your life.

Toby and I met each other and became friends while attending Garce Fellowship church in Merced. I became a house mate to Toby when she lived in Merced while she owned the pizza parlor and before she met Norm. She was a fun-loving friend who was always busy.
