Jane Toler

 

Mary “Jane” Toler, lovingly known as Jane, passed away peacefully at her home in Foristell, Missouri, on January 5, 2026, at the age of 80.


Jane TolerJane was someone who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She was a faithful St. Louis Cardinals fan and never missed a chance to cheer them on. She loved spending quiet time doing needlepoint, reading, and testing her knowledge while watching Jeopardy. Her hands were rarely still, she enjoyed spending time tending to her gardening and flowers. 

Jane had a special love for travel, especially her winters in Florida. The beach was one of her happiest places - she could sit for hours watching the waves roll in, finding peace and comfort in the sound of the ocean.

Above all, Jane was a devoted and loving grandmother. Her grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy, and she loved them with her whole heart. She never missed an opportunity to talk about them, support them, or simply enjoy time spent together. 

She is survived by her two children, Jeanne (Mark) Griffin and Paul Toler both of Foristell; three step-children, Teresa (Mike) Dabrey of Dallas, TX, John (Jennifer) Toler of Bradenton, FL, and Stefani (Thomas) May of Pochantas, AR; sister, Carol (Don) Lippold of Oakville, MO; and many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. Jane was preceded in death by her father, George C. Reilly, her mother, Frances M. (Haug) Reilly, her first husband, Frank Arcabascio, and husband, John Toler.  She leaves behind countless memories that will be cherished by all who were blessed to know her.
