Ernest Isaiah Toney

On Monday, March 12, 2018, Ernest Isaiah Toney, age 79, entered his eternal home and won his courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born in Cleveland County on July 6, 1938, he was the son of the late Robert Vance and Annie Mae Blanton Toney. Throughout his journey Ernest's faith never wavered, and his focus was always on his family rather than himself. Anyone who met him loved him. Ernest worked at Dicey Fabrics for 45 years, where he made many lasting friendships. He also enjoyed gardening and working outdoors. In addition to his parents, Ernest is preceded in death by his stepmother, Neva Toney; and his wife of 57 years, Eunice Beaty Toney; a brother, Edward Toney; and a sister, Helen Davis.

Ernest is survived by two daughters; Phyllis Stafford and husband Mark of Kings Mountain and Rhonda Alexander and husband Ricky also of Kings Mountain, four grandchildren; Tyler Alexander, Brandon Stafford, Megan Dodrill and husband Matt, and Daniel Shaw, as well as two great-grandchildren Isaiah and Carolina Dodrill, a brother, Wayne Toney and wife Audrey of Kings Mountain; a sister, Edith Causby of Bostic; and numerous loving nieces and nephews.

The family is incredibly grateful for all of the caregivers and Hospice of Cleveland County, especially the nurses at Testa Hospice House for their continued love and care.

Funeral service will be held 11 am on Thursday, March 15, 2018 at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Grover, NC with Rev. Andrew Corley and Rev. Greg Martin officiating. .
