Kathleen McCarthy Toner

Kathleen McCarthy Toner, 12/02/1937- 05/12/2022, was a beloved mother, wife and friend.

Kay is survived by her identical twin Barbara McCarthy Duffy, her daughters Meagan Geci (Duane), Bridget Hunke (Eric), and son Sean Toner (Alana), along with grandchildren Ryan Hunke (Alysha), Katie Jacklin (Taylor), April Lovins, Christian Geci, Sean Geci, Lena Toner, Imogen Jacklin and Wilder Jacklin. Kathleen was preceeded in death by her husband John Thomas Toner, her sister Florence McCarthy Thomas, and her brothers William McCarthy, Donald McCarthy, and Bruce McCarthy.

The end of her life here on earth will not extinguish Kay's light. She has passed on the torch to three more generations. May we always live in a way that honors her memory.

When we volunteer to help, we will remember the many years she dedicated to the Church, Visionaires, and Sand and Spur.

When we are listening to someone's problems we will remember how she never turned away from a hurting heart. Whether family or stranger, she would hear someone's story and make them feel understood.

When we prepare meals for friends and family we will remember how many people she blessed with her good humor and endless hospitality.

When we are tired we will remember how she persevered.

Kay will be sorely missed by her family and many in the community.
 

Our mother's memorial service will be this Friday, the 20th of May, at 10 a.m.  The ceremony will be held at the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Niceville, Florida. The funeral home is Heritage Gardens.
