Harold Lynn Todd was born in
Ada, Ok on August 23, 1944, to Harold Orton Todd and Ella Mae Todd. Harold lived a life defined by hard work, loyalty, selflessness, humility, and strength that everyone around him felt. He married Tisha, the love of his life, on August 22, 1964, and they shared 61 beautiful years of marriage. Their bond and love for the Lord was the kind that inspired and ministered to others – steadfast, supportive, and rooted deeply in faith.
Harold spent his career as an offset printer, a trade he took pride in and worked diligently for 42 years. From 1980 – 1987, Harold and Tisha owned and operated Todds Quality Printing & Office Supplies, from there they went on to open The Crafters Heart Gift Shop and Mall. He then went on to work for The Printers Touch, where he retired in 2007. Outside of work, he had a true passion for motorcycles – especially Harleys – and classic cars. He would talk for hours about his classic car collection and his own Harley to anyone who would listen. Harold committed his life to the Lord in 1969 and together, with his wife, they served in the Evangelistic ministry. Throughout their life together they traveled the United States sharing the Gospel through word and song. Harold faithfully supported and served, whether behind the scenes working sound or right beside Tisha, with grace, patience, and a servant's heart. He will be forever missed by his wife of 61 years, his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and all who were blessed to know him. Harold leaves behind a legacy of love, faithfulness, hard work, and strength – one that will live on in the lives he touched.
