Betty Croyle Obituary
Betty, daughter of A. Grayson and Mildred I. (Brandenburg) Toms, was born and raised in Middletown, Maryland. She was the fourth of five girls and grew up on a farm. While working at a local pizza shop in Frederick, Betty met her husband, Wayne. They were married in 1961. They raised two children, and several foster children, in Prince George's County. Betty dedicated over thirty years to PGC schools, preparing meals for the students. Betty had never-ending patience, love, and acceptance of others.
In retirement, Betty and Wayne built a custom Victorian home in Southern Maryland. Betty's flair for design shined through every part of their home. Betty's love language was hosting, always opening her home to friends and family making endless delicious meals. Betty was an avid gardener whose vegetable bounty was legendary and flower gardens worthy of Better Homes and Gardens.
Betty is survived by her husband Wayne, daughter Brenda, four grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and countless loved ones. Betty is preceded in death by her son Floyd "Bill" Croyle, sisters Mary Fogle, Louise Guyton, Ella Mae Gross, and dear friend Hattie Dunbar.
A Celebration of Life is planned for August 28, 2022 from 11am-2pm at the Myersville Banquet Center located at 301 Main Street Myersville, Maryland.
In lieu of flowers the family wishes donations be made to Mary Washington Hospice: 2300 Fall Hill Avenue Fredericksburg, VA 22401 Attention: Hospice Suite 401

To those who don't know my grandmother passed away. She was a great cook and gardener with an obsession with Victorian decor so much, so she and my grandfather custom made a Victorian house on a 2-acre lot with a room just for her grand piano. She loved animals as well as swimming. she would always give me a Snapple after swimming in the pool. She was the first person to volunteer if their needed to be a babysitter. She would help me with my homework afterschool and give me a snack while
I waited to get picked up. She would even read me Goldie Clocks and the three bears each morning I would wake up from spending the night. Also, she always wanted to tell the story of Thumbelina to me, but I had a thumb phobia at the time. She would even let me spend time with my cousins. She even had my sister live with them at a time. She will be missed by all young and old. RIP Mimi "Betty Croyle"
