Today's video is in honor of my Grandmother who passed away at the age of 92 on March 13, 2023. We will be honoring her with a Celebration of Life this weekend and I was tasked with planning it. Birthday celebrations are generally pretty easy but an occasion like this can be pretty difficult and it can be hard to find ideas. So in order to try and make others planning a little easier than mine was, I thought I would share what I came up with anyone who might be searching for ideas.
Then be sure to stay tuned, because I will be sharing a 2nd video in a couple of weeks showing how to put all of these items together to decorate a space for friends and loved ones to gather.

⁣ Thelma Boyd Toler, Architect of Dreams in Federal Government, Dies at 86


Visionary Mentor Who Shaped Careers and Opened Doors for Generations

Thelma Boyd Toler, whose 44-year career in the federal government became a blueprint for aspiring civil servants, died on October 2, 2024, in Rockville, Maryland. She was 86.

Mrs. Toler's tenure as a Small Business Specialist in the Executive Office of the President was marked not just by her professional acumen, but by her extraordinary ability to envision and construct pathways to success for others. She transformed her office into a launching pad for countless careers, earning her the unofficial title of "Architect of Dreams" among those she mentored.

Born on November 3, 1937, in Tarboro, North Carolina, to Josephine Boyd Fields and Al Junius Fields, Thelma graduated from East Suffolk High School in 1955. Her leadership qualities emerged early, serving as class secretary and excelling in both the school choir and basketball team.

In her role at the Office of Administration, Mrs. Toler's responsibilities brought her into contact with multiple First Ladies. However, it was her self-appointed mission to blueprint success for others that truly defined her legacy. She didn't just open doors; she designed entire career structures, helping aspirants navigate the complex landscape of federal employment.

"My mother saw the federal government not just as an employer, but as a canvas where dreams could be painted," said Joel L. Boyd, M.D., her eldest son. "She had an architect's eye for potential, sketching out career paths where others saw dead ends."

Mrs. Toler's blueprint for success extended beyond job placements. She meticulously planned career advancements, strategically timed educational pursuits, and orchestrated departmental transfers to optimize growth opportunities. Her retirement ceremony in 2004 became a testament to her impact, attended by numerous professionals whose careers she had helped design and build.

Outside of her professional life, Mrs. Toler was a masterful architect of community and family bonds. She was an active member of The People's Community Baptist Church and held key positions in organizations like the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. and the Order of the Eastern Star.

Family was the cornerstone of Mrs. Toler's personal architecture. She designed a home that was always open, welcoming a constant flow of relatives, students, and friends. Her greatest pride was in the solid foundation she laid for her three sons: Joel L. Boyd, M.D., Herbert H. Toler, Jr., Ph.D., and Al David Toler, DDS.

"Our mother was the chief architect of our lives," said Herbert Toler, Jr. "She drafted plans for our success that included education, perseverance, and the imperative to create opportunities for others."

Mrs. Toler is survived by her three sons and their spouses, eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and a stepsister, Elnor Stagg.

A memorial service celebrating the enduring structure of Mrs. Toler's life and work will be held at The People's Community Baptist Church on October 10, 2024. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the newly established Thelma Boyd Toler Dream Architects Scholarship, dedicated to fostering the next generation of visionary civil servants.

⁣Obituary

Thelma (Ann) Boyd Toler, daughter of the late Josephine Boyd Fields and Al Junius Fields was
born November 3, 1937, in Tarboro, North Carolina. She departed this life October 2, 2024, at
Casey House in Rockville, Maryland.


Thelma graduated from the former East Suffolk High School, Class of 1955. She was class
secretary as a freshman and sang in the school choir for four years. Basketball was her
favorite extracurricular activity, and she insisted her granddaughter followed in her footsteps in
the sport.


Thelma enjoyed a 44-year career in the Federal Government as a Small Business Specialist
for the Office of Administration, Executive Office of the President. In that capacity she had
personal contact with multiple First Ladies and enjoyed her role in ensuring their procurement
needs were met. Her professional success was not limited to her day-to-day responsibilities,
rather it was her ability to help others that was the crowning achievement of her life.


It was her tenacity and determination to provide opportunities for others that will be her legacy. At every
opportunity she mentored, supported, encouraged, and advocated for everyone needing a job
to apply for positions in the Federal Government. As their mentor she diligently told them when
it was time to apply for a promotion, go back to school for an advanced degree or pivot to
another industry or department when there was no opportunity for advancement. Many of them
attended her retirement ceremony in 2004 and expressed their appreciation for her efforts.
As a child Thelma attended Tyne Street and First Baptist Mahan Street churches in Suffolk,
Virginia. After relocating to Washington, DC, she joined The Florida Avenue Baptist Church
and later joined The People’s Community Baptist Church.


There she was a member of the Issachar Tribal Family and her beloved Generation 1. She remained active until her recent illness. In addition, she was a Life Member, National Council of Negro Women, Inc., Potomic Valley Section; Past Matron, Zorah Chapter No. 36, Order of the Eastern Star, PHA, Rockville,
Maryland and Honorary Past Imperial Commandress and Past Imperial Deputy for the Desert
of Maryland and, Anwar Court No. 197, Imperial Court of the Daughter of Isis, PHA, Rockville,
Maryland.


Thelma loved her family…and everyone was family. She was the happiest with a house full of
people any day of the week, invited or unexpected. She welcomed international students,
interns, college students and countless nieces, nephews, and cousins into her home.
Thelma was most proud of her three sons: Joel L. Boyd, M.D., Herbert H. Toler, Jr., Ph.D., and
Al David Toler, DDS. She poured her heart and soul into raising them and provided them with
an extraordinary educational and spiritual foundation to ensure their professional and personal
success.

Thelma was preceded in death by her stepbrothers Al Jr. and Walter and stepsister Catherine
and survived by one stepsister Elnor Stagg.


She leaves to cherish her memory and continueher legacy of selfless giving her sons Joel (Cheryl), Herbert Jr. (Erica), Al (Nathalie), grandchildren Kendall (Brian), Kyle (Archana), Kasey, Heather, Halle, Herbert III, Lawrence, Jacob; great-grandchildren Gabrielle, Garrett, Logan and Jermaine; nieces, nephews, cousins,
and a host of other relatives and friends.
