Elmer Charles Toth

1928 ~ 2011

It is with great sadness, for he will be missed, but happiness for a life well lived that we announce the passing of Elmer Charles Toth on July 11th, 2011. Elmer was born to Victoria (Hordos) and Steve Toth in 1928. He was the 8th child of 11 children. Elmer lived his early life at the family farm near Lestock. He attended high school at Campion College completing Grade 13. At this time he was called home to help on the farm ending his hopes for a University education. He moved to Regina in 1951 and found employment with the CNR. In 1954 he married the love of his life, Yolanda (Lanie) Toth (no they were not related). They had 6 children; Darrell, Catherine, Steven, Michael (deceased at birth), Wayne, David (deceased at birth). Elmer continued his education throughout his married life and spent the better part of his working career with the Department of Public Works managing federal facilities in Regina. Elmer was an incredibly talented man. There was no task at which he did not excel, be it building a house, pouring concrete, building furniture or fixing and repairing all manner of things, mechanical or electrical. He was a natural born teacher and ably and happily passed his knowledge and skills along to his children and grandchildren. Left to cherish his memory is his wife Yolanda (Lanie); his children Darrell (Nori), Cathy (Richard), Steven (Lucy) and Wayne (Maureen); his grandchildren, Jeff (Sara), Josh (Danica), Stephanie (Quang), Christina (Andrew), Matthew, Mychal, Riley, and Logan (Kayla); his great grandchildren, Harriet, Rosie, Sadie, Merideth, Marlow and Oliver, as well as his brothers Louis (Maureen), Jim, Les (Rita) and his sisters Betty and Helen (Merv). Elmer loved well and in return was well loved. He lives on in our hearts and minds. Prayers will be held on TONIGHT, Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 7:00 p.m., at Lee Funeral Home, 3101 Dewdney Avenue.
