Meredith McConahey Toft, 79, died on August 24, 2026, in La Jolla, CA.<\/p>\n
Born March 13, 1947, in Rochester, MN, to William and Adrienne McConahey, Meredith had a happy childhood there with her brothers, Bill and Peter, and lifelong friends from kindergarten.<\/p>\n
She earned degrees from Simmons College and the Simmons School of Social Work in Boston. She married Lawrance Pollak in 1975, and they settled in San Diego, raising three daughters \u2014 Lindsay Pollak, Alexis (Pollak) Hauptman, and Jennifer Pollak. Meredith was active in community organizations, including Las Patronas and its annual Jewel Ball.<\/p>\n
In 2001, she moved back to Rochester to be near her aging parents, where she met and married her husband, David Toft. After his retirement from Mayo Clinic, they returned to her beloved La Jolla.<\/p>\n
Meredith often said she was never happier than in her marriage to David, sharing a life full of laughter, travel, and quiet walks by the ocean. <\/p>\n
Meredith is survived by David; his sons, Daniel and Jason, and their families; and her daughters, Lindsay, Alexis, and Jennifer, and their families.<\/p>\n
