Obituary of LaToya Nadia Peters

"A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. It broke our hearts to see you go, but God only takes the best. You're beautiful, you're endless, now stretch your wings and fly. You're loved by so many, it will never be goodbye. Close your pretty eyes, no more tears, just go and rest. Let your soul lie peacefully. We know you did your best"

It is with the deepest of sorrow that we announced the passing of our beloved angel, Toy.

Latoya "Toy" "Toya" "Douxie" Nadia Peters, a residential counselor for the Center for Discovery, born on July 29, 1984, in St. Thomas, USVI, passed away on June 8, 2024, in Monticello, NY, at the age of 39.

Latoya, known affectionately as "Toy" to her loved ones, will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her mother, Bernadine Prince; father, Roger Peters; son, Quincy Alexander; and siblings, Kevin, Ann Michelle, Monifa, and Jamie Peters. She also leaves behind aunts, Venola Millett and Family, Viviana Prince and family, Inger Prince-Barry and family, Brenda, Inis, and Debbie Peters and their families, Paulette Joseph and family; uncles, Carl Harris, Willard, Lester, Lornel and Ivor Prince, Pasquale, Glentis and Junie Peters and their families, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a wide circle of relatives that includes the Prince, Turner, McKay, Meyers, Peters, O'Garro, Barnes, Simon Families of Antigua, US Virgin Islands, United States, Canada and the UK, who mourn her loss.

Latoya's warm personality and kind spirit touched the lives of many, including her best friend since high school, Ariesha Edwards, and her godmother, Laverne O'Garro. She will be dearly missed by Oliver Hall and Matthew Smith. Toya will also be remembered by a host of family and friends too numerous to mention.  Her presence will be deeply missed but her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.  May she rest in peace.
