Toi Lee Fowler
November 5, 1934 - May 22, 2021
TOGETHER AGAIN
Salt Lake City, UT-Toi Lee Fowler, age 86, died after a brave and exhausting battle with cancer. Toi Lee simply decided she missed the love of her life, her sweet, loving husband, Greg, and she needed to be with him. She was born and grew up in Ashton, Idaho. She attended school in Ashton, Drummond and Rigby, Idaho.
Early in her adventures, Toi Lee discovered her passion and became a licensed Cosmetologist. After earning success and opening her own salon, she moved to Salt Lake City, Utah and devoted most of her career to Peerless Beauty Supply Co. in various capacities, making life-long friends and loving every minute of her professional life. She lived a purposeful and rewarding life teaching in the beauty profession, always finding opportunities to help others. She influenced countless students in the art of hair color and inspired those around her to learn, grow and become excellent in their profession. She was always loyal and loving with her family and friends.
She found her soulmate, Greg Fowler, and they married in 1984. They loved each other and enjoyed boating, golfing, water skiing and travel. The love between them was strong and grew when they faced together Greg’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease and the challenges it created. Toi Lee lost her best friend to the disease in their 30th year of marriage, and after that she was never the same. Their love for each other was kind, generous and beautiful.
Toi Lee was an avid sports enthusiast, including her loyal support of the Chicago Bears and Cubs and the Utah Jazz, and she will be missed.
Toi Lee is survived by her Sister Edna Reece Gerard of Iona, Idaho, Brother Michael Michael Reece of Salt Lake City, Utah, and nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her husband, Greg Fowler, parents Sammie and Clara Reece and four sisters.
A celebration of Toi Lee’s life will be on Saturday, September 11, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City.
In Loving Memory
Toi lee was such an amazing lady. Always there for those she loved and I always admired her for her inner strength and vibrant personality. Her dedication and passion for her profession was incredible. She will be truly missed. My heart goes out to all those who loved her.
In my 10 years that I've worked at Peerless Beauty Supply. I've never met a person who was so sweet with her personality. She always made you feel right at home. It was a great privilege to know her. And for that, I THANK YOU. May you R.I.P.. And yes, you are now reunited with Greg. Ron Vega
Toi was my best friend growing up. She was a big supporter of the bands I played in and came to see me perform many times. She was the reason I got to go to Europe the summer after high school graduation and study music. I loved her with all my heart even tho things between us have been strained in recent years. I posted a couple of photos. One of her as a young girl and one of all the siblings with our mother. Just me and Edna left. She just turned 92. Love and miss you sis.
In Loving Memory
