Obituary Online notes for George Kendall TOADVINE
George Kendall Toadvine, devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, was called home by his Heavenly Father the early morning of January 24, 2016. Family and friends remember him as a man of deep faith, great integrity and dedication to his family. Mr. Toadvine was born in Sylvandell, Harrison County, Kentucky, on January 16, 1936. He was a 1953 graduate of Hebron High School, where he was class valedictorian. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Asbury College, in Wilmore, Kentucky, in 1957, and a Master of Education degree from the University of Cincinnati in 1961. Mr. Toadvine also did post-baccalaureate studies in Christian missions at Scarritt College, in Nashville, Tennessee, and completed studies in Spanish language at the Instituto del Idioma Espanol, in San Jose, Costa Rica.
He and his wife, Shirley, served with the Methodist Board of Missions as teachers at Instituto Americano in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and together shared a 35-year career with the Boone County School System. Over the course of his career as an educator, Mr. Toadvine taught multiple subjects, including Spanish, history and political science. He was assistant principal of Ockerman Junior High School for one year and principal of Boone County High School for seven years. Mr. Toadvine is remembered fondly by his former students, a teacher who made the educational process both interesting and enjoyable.
He was co-recipient of the Florence Rotary Club Roy Lutes Citizen of the Year Award in 2004 and is a Kentucky Colonel, having been honored with such designation in 1980. For the past 50 Years, Mr. Toadvine was a faithful member of Florence United Methodist Church. He taught Sunday school for over 40 years and was a lay leader, lay speaker, president of Methodist Men and led the church’s prayer ministry. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Methodist Children’s Home, in Versailles, Kentucky, for many years. Faith and values were extremely important to him. He had a tireless work ethic. He enjoyed reading, gardening, yard work, woodworking and cane weaving.
He was preceded in death by: his parents, Marion Kendall and Mildred Sharp Toadvine; a brother, William P. Toadvine; and a sister, Carol Eleanor Toadvine. He is survived by: his devoted and loving wife of over 58 years, Shirley Matilda Simmons Toadvine, originally of Burlington, North Carolina; three children and their spouses, Dr. Stephen Kendall Toadvine and his wife, Ann Wiese Toadvine, of Nicholasville, Kentucky, James Rene’ Toadvine and his wife, Robin Gaddis Toadvine, of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Cynthia Toadvine Zimmerman and her husband, Kurtis Paul Zimmerman, of Santa Cruz, Bolivia; 17 grandchildren; and a great-grandchild.
