ROCKY MOUNT - Delores Belle Toler Weston, age 89, passed away on Friday, July 17, 2020. Born in Nash County, NC on February 10, 1931, she was the daughter of the late Jesse Lee Toler and Nannie Bell Jones Toler. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Albert Michael Weston; her son Larry Weston; her brothers, Albert Lee Toler, John Daniel Toler, James Calvin "J.C." Toler, and Jerry Alton Toler; and her sisters, Daphine Ellen "Pat" Toler Avent and Linda Montine Toler Osterhoudt.
A lifelong member of Ridgecrest Worship Center, Delores was a woman of great faith and inspiration. Never was a time when she would not offer a hug to someone. Many will remember her wonderful smile and kind heart whenever shopping at Walmart, from which she retired from following 25 years of service.
Delores is survived by her daughter, Robin Weston Joyner and her husband, Jeff, of Rocky Mount; grandchildren, Michael Weston and his wife Tina, Matthew Weston, and Kelsey Hamilton; great grandchildren, Amy Hobbs, Tayler Weston, and Annabrooke Hamilton; and her great-great grandchildren, Estela and Lilianna Cuellar. Also left to cherish her memory is her sister, Jo Ann Toler Newcomb of Rocky Mount; and affectionately known as "Aunt Lo", she will be dearly missed by her numerous nieces and nephews.

Ms. Weston was a sweet, kind, and loving person. I enjoyed our time together. I loved her dearly and will miss her.
So sorry to hear of Lo’s passing. She was my first cousin and although we hadn’t seen each other in years she was a dear sweet person. I send my heartfelt sympathy to all the family. May God give you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
I’ve known Mrs Weston since I was nine years old and she was my second mama! During all those years, I’ve never heard her say an unkind word or comment toward anyone. Her sunny disposition and laughter always made you feel welcomed, as if, I was one of her children… and I was. Mrs. Weston’s love and spirit will continue to shine on us all, but more importantly, her brightness is now with her Lord. May her blossoms of love and Sweet potato vines continue to grow and flourish through her family and friends. She has welcomed our thoughts and prayers, so now we send them to her family. We will all soon meet again and rejoice with her in heaven. Karen and Jimmy King
