Dr. Enoch McLain "Brother" Toler M.D.

07/03/1938 - 11/08/2025

Dr. Enoch McLain "Brother" Toler was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the son of Dr. Clovis Seville and Peggy Burr Toler. He grew up a barefoot boy on a bicycle in Clinton, Louisiana - the place he always called home.
A graduate of Clinton High School and Louisiana State University, he earned his medical degree from LSU Medical School in 1964, following the family legacy of medicine begun by his father and grandfather.
He married the love of his life, Anita Rea of Florence, Alabama, in 1963. After completing his internship in Memphis, Tennessee, he served two years with the U.S. Public Health Service in South Dakota and Minnesota, where he directed two Native American Indian hospitals.
Dr. Toler completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, serving as Chief Resident, before settling in Mobile, Alabama in 1970. He joined the practice of Drs. Ray Abell and William Jeansonne where he cared for women and families with compassion and dedication for 36 years.
Known for his calm presence and gentle spirit, Dr. Toler's care was both medical and deeply human. He served as President of the Medical Society of Mobile County and was an active member of several medical associations.
Dr. Toler retired from practice in 2006 and has made his home in Daphne since 2003. An adventurer at heart, he and his family shared a love of sailing, snow skiing and travel. The Toler family created countless memories together on Mobile Bay and their mountain house in North Carolina.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Anita; daughter, Michelle Toler, and her children, Margaret, Annie, and Christian; son, Dr. Aaron Toler, and his wife, Dr. Kim Toler, both obstetrician-gynecologists, and their daughter, Ellie; and great-grandson, Enoch Samuel, born to Margaret.
Known as "Dadee", his grandchildren will forever treasure his warm hugs and his love of dessert.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff of the William F. Green Veterans Home in Bay Minette, Alabama, Community Hospice and to caregivers Sharon Stanley and Angela McCryndle for their loving care.
Dr. "Brother" Toler will be remembered always for leading with his heart - a devoted physician, husband, father, and friend whose life was defined by faith, compassion, and love.
All are welcome on Thursday, November 20, 2025, for Mass at 11AM at Saint Joseph's Chapel, Springhill College. A celebration of life will follow at the County Club of Mobile from 12:30PM-2:30PM. The burial will be private.
