This is the second part of a guide for creating a celebration of life funeral service. It covers the welcome and introduction to the service, how to begin a non-religious ceremony, how to introduce people, family members and say a few initial words about the deceased (loved one). It so has some handy hints to help with things like starting the service and keeping things simple. This is a free course, and is here as guide for anyone who is planning a funeral ceremony where they wish to act as a celebrant themselves or to understand what the celebrant does.

By the end of the course a complete beginner should be able to write a funeral script and lead a funeral service.

⁣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.

Transcript:

You know, when people tell us, "What I really want to have is a Celebration of Life." I couldn't agree more. A Celebration of Life is another name for a funeral -- with a particular focus.
I think for most people it, it communicates a sense of "We are wanting something that's not sad. We are wanting an event, a gathering, where it's gonna be about all the best of what was the person's life." But the idea is, we really want to focus on this person; we want to celebrate the fact that they lived. And that's what we are gonna focus on. Not necessarily a particular ritual.
How a person uses that term, uh you know, takes a little bit of time for us to just understand what they mean by "a Celebration of Life". Because it's obviously an objective and a desire that's there. Celebrating a life, um, is what we do, because someone has died.
I think a funeral should be a celebration of that person's life. It needs to show and personalize and reflect their values, their beliefs, their interests, and that any good funeral is going to turn into that celebration of that persons's life.
There are those that have been creative and have done Celebration of Life services before someone dies. I think that's a fantastic idea. Why not be involved in what people would say and pay tribute to you while you are among them?

Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones, one of music's most profitable and celebrated collaborations after they raked in record sales into the 100s of millions, and in turn, changed the course of modern pop music. But with the insurmountable successes they achieved together, also came tensions as their power dynamic changed with rising fame, money and rivalry.

In this video we document Quincy Jones, in his own words, recount the very special and tormented relationship he had with the legendary 'King Of Pop'.
