She worked at the Riverside – Alderson Exxon deli, she met a lot of friends and enjoyed talking to and seeing people day-to-day. Toini was of the Baptist faith and was a member of the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church in Alderson. She always enjoyed spending time with her mother traveling to visit in Finland, where she had dual citizenship. Her favorite things included reading, listening to music, evening drives looking for deer, and driving throughout West Virginia because the beautiful scenery reminded her of Finland. She is survived by her close friends, Sylvia Jean Keaton, and Charla Fisher, both of Alderson.
