Shirley Toland, longtime Cushing resident, passed away Saturday, January 7, 2017, at the age of 77 years.
The daughter of the late Paul Fisher and Orpha Smith Fisher, Shirley was born on October 26, 1939 in Cushing, Oklahoma and was raised and educated here, graduating from Cushing High School.
She was united in marriage to Ted Toland on Feb. 5, 1960, and to this union three sons, Gary, Jeff and John were born.
The couple moved back to Cushing in 1974 and had lived here since that time.
Shirley enjoyed bowling (with her pink ball), playing bingo and spending time with her family, especially her grandkids.
She is survived by her husband of over 56 years, Ted Toland; three sons, Gary Toland and his wife Lori, Jeff Toland and John Toland and his spouse David Sandoval; one sister, Judy Holderread and her husband Jerry; three grandchildren, Ashley Norman, Colby Toland and Devon Toland; two great-grandchildren, McKinley Norman and Grayson Toland; several nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends, including Mairy Baird, a longtime best friend.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one sister Diane Fisher.
The Toland family would like to give a special thanks to Grace Hospice for the love and care that was given to the family in this very difficult time.
The family will greet friends on Wednesday evening, January 11, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. in the Floyd Family Center, east of the funeral home.
