Chester Lee Allen ''Toby'' Donley, age 77, of Leslie, Arkansas passed from this life on Sunday, August 18th, 2024 at Baptist Health in Conway, Arkansas. He was born in Dermott, Arkansas on February 25th, 1947 to Chester Donley and Dorothy Mary Clark Donley. He lived in McGehee until he moved to Little Rock in 1972.

Toby was an insurance salesman for 30 years. After retirement he moved on to real estate and worked for 15 years until his health began to fail. He loved being on his farm and tending to the cows for 29 years. For health reasons, he could no longer tend to the cattle but loved watching out the window while Becky cared for the farm. Toby was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed playing receptionist at his wife's tax office. Her clients will greatly miss seeing him sitting at the front desk greeting them. Toby was very proud of his daughter, Cynthia; grandkids, Jen and Hunter; niece, Christy and nephew, Rick.

Toby is preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Dorothy Donley; his grandparents; one sister, Nobia Terrese and brother, Perry Wayne.
