TinaMay 'Tiny' Darlene Foss Toftum, 41

TinaMay "Tiny" Darlene Foss Toftum "was taken home to be with our Father" on Oct. 22, 2006. She was born June 22, 1965, in Whitefish. "TinaMay joins her baby girl Felicia Meranda Jane Foss in Heaven to be our guardian angel." TinaMay will be missed by us all very much.

She was the best daughter, sister, mother, niece and best friend there ever was.

She married Donny on July 23, 2005. They moved to Wyoming in February 2006 for a new beginning. TinaMay loved Wyoming and called it home.

She is survived by her husband, Donny Toftum, of Gillette, Wyo.; daughter, Jessica Nicklaus, of Fort Lee, Va.; son, Ethan Smith, of Kalispell; stepson, Cole Toftum, of Columbia Falls; grandmother, Bernice May Clark, of Whitefish; parents Ben and Mary Jane Foss, and sister, Leslie Hamilton, all of Columbia Falls; stepsister RaeAnna Jorgenson, of Quartzite, Ariz.; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

TinaMay cherished her family as if each of them were golden. She was the most spiritual lady ever known. TinaMay loved the ocean and brought red and golden sunsets. She loved everything mother earth had created. She loved animals of all kinds and always mothered the sick ones back to health.

TinaMay worked as a firefighter, certified nurses assistant, at Plum Creek on the green chain, Meadowlake Resort, Super One, as a truck driver, and logged with her dad in the mountains. These are only a few, but she did it all. She loved working on cars with her uncle, crocheting blankets, playing guitar, and spending time with her family.

TinaMay lived her life as if every day was the last. Her soul and spirit will be with us always. We all love and miss her with all our hearts.

Services will be held in the spring of 2007 due to her husband being hospitalized.

Any donations can be made to The Tina Toftum Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank.
