Erma Ernestine Erwin Toth, 90, passed peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, October 3, 2020, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s.

40 years, and prior to that, The Little Store, in Johnson City, Lavender’s, Wright’s, and Younces/Discount
Foods, in Jonesborough. She was an avid member of Jonesborough United Methodist Church, where
she severed as a Church Hostess and on several of the women’s circle groups. She loved her church
family dearly.
