She was active with the children"s program at her church, helped with NERA"s traveling flag at athletic gatherings, and rode with the naval float in parades. Tosh"s final days were spent surrounded by her family and friends, and she passed in her sleep with her husband at her side on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
