Barbara L. Toy, of Masury, Ohio, was welcomed into the loving arms of her beloved Gary, on Thursday, October 9, 2025, while a patient at Liberty Health Care, Youngstown, Ohio, following a brief illness. She was 76.

Barbara was born in Oil City, Pennsylvania, on December 9, 1948, a daughter to Arthur E. “Stub” & Laura Mae (Myers) Young.

She was a 1966 graduate of Oil City High School and married her high school sweetheart, Gary E. Toy, on August 3, 1968.

Barb worked as an administrative assistant for First National Bank, Hermitage, Pennsylvania, and retired from First National Trust in 2011, after dedicating over 24 years to her vocation.

She was a member of the Brookfield United Methodist Church, Card Club, and Looney Loomers Club.

In her spare time, she enjoyed attending grandkids' activities, going camping, and traveling as much as possible. However, crocheting blankets, complete with names & birthdates, is what she loved to do. She was a beautiful person with a soul to match. She will be truly missed.
