NEW DURHAM - Vandelia (Ann) A. Toof, 75, died peacefully on Saturday, October 29, 2016, surrounded by her family. Born on August 5, 1941, in Brownfield, Maine, she was the daughter of Roland and Arlene (Day) Day. Ann was a lifelong resident of Rochester and later in life, Frostproof, Fla., where she retired with her late husband Paul Toof, who died in April 2016.
Ann worked for many years as a stitcher at Encore Shoe in Rochester. She was a wife, mother and homemaker. Ann was a selfless, sweet, caring woman who would do anything for anyone. She enjoyed spending time at her summer lake home in New Durham with her family, baking and gardening. She loved flowers and had quite the green thumb. Nothing made her happier than her beloved dogs Rebel and Dixie who will miss her terribly.
Ann is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, Richard and Kim Toof of Lake Wales, Fla.; and Jeffrey and Stacy Toof of Rochester, N.H.; daughters and sons-in-laws, Cheryl and Wade Evans of New Durham, N.H.; Darlene and Thomas Leighton of Farmington, N.H.; Lisa and Mark Pawnell of Gonic, N.H.; she is also survived by her sister, Pat Cilley of Rochester, N.H.; eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
