Ms. Jane “Toby” Selinger passed away peacefully on October 25, 2017 at Troy Community Hospital surrounded by family. Toby was born April 4, 1937 in Lenox Hills, NY to the late Mortimer and Nanette Selinger.
In 1944, at the age of 6 years old, Toby moved to Troy and became a life-long resident of Martha Lloyd Community Services, where she spent 74 happy years.
Those who knew Toby would describe her as sweet and loving with a touch of spunk and mischief. Toby always made sure to let those she cared about know that she “loved them to pieces”. She enjoyed spending her free time stringing beads and buttons, coloring, and “shopping”. Toby also enjoyed music and singing for others when asked.
