Toye L. Starver

January 28, 1961 - February 13, 2018

Toye Lynne Starver, age 57, passed away on Tuesday, February 13, 2018 at Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. She was born on January 28, 1961 in Pittsburgh to Donald LeRoi and Shirley Anne (Randolph) Starver. She was a graduate of Pittsburgh Academy High School and attended college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Toye spent a lifetime working in community outreach, fulfilling her passion for helping and advocating for those less fortunate than herself. In particular, she had a special place in her heart for the homeless, as well as HIV and AIDS patients. Most recently, she worked as a Public Information Supervisor at the Central Outreach Resource and Referral Center. Toye was also active in the local arts community and was a board member of New Horizons Theater. Toye had an uncanny way of making everyone feel important, and of giving without ever asking anything in return. She was a faithful member of the Allegheny Center Alliance Church. She enjoyed performing acts of service and volunteering at church, but her greatest joy came from spending time with her grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her father Donald, and is survived by her mother, Shirley, one daughter, Brandi, two grandchildren, Briyana and Braden, four siblings Kelly, Donald, Randolph and Darryl, a brother-in-law, Robin, a step mother, Lois, special friend Gregory Mims, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Family, friends, and others whose lives Toye touched are invited to gather on Friday February 23, 2018 at 11:00 am at Allegheny Center Alliance Church, 250 E. Ohio Street, Pittsburgh, PA, 15212. This will be a Celebration of Life Service to reminisce, grieve, support each other and share memories of her life.
