Mrs. Beulah Ballard Toney was born in Madison County, Ala., and was a graduate of Trinity High School.  She proudly attended Alabama A&M University.

Through the years, she faithfully--and with honor, integrity and great distinction--worked quietly away at making communities better places to live, often with little recognition and no pay. She made substantial efforts toward achieving the ambitions and goals of our community as an unsung hero.

Toney continued to be very active in the community as a founding member of the Bo Matthews Center for Excellence; founder of the Beulah Ballard Toney Scholarship; board member of the Meadow Hills Initiative; and board member, Community Action Partnership.

In addition to her most recent work, she led and participated in numerous organizations over the past 40 years: past chairperson of the Madison County Board of Registrars; past chairperson of the 5th Congressional District of New South Coalition; founding board member of the Coalition On At-Risk Minority Males; member, Fun Set Social and Charity Club (organizers of the Annual Beautillion Ball); past president of the Charity Floral Club; past leader for Girl Scouts of America, Inc.; past coach for Youth Softball and Basketball Leagues; and many others.

Even though she had many public accomplishments, her three daughters--Cheryl Edwards (Ralph), Wlyne Toney-McCrary (Don) and Sylvia Fitts (Seatreion) and two granddaughters--Kenya McCrary and Sydney Edwards--were her pride and joy.
