September 12, 1927 - August 1, 2021
On August 1,2021, at the age of 93 our cherished mother Oneta Townson was given her heavenly wings. While it will be hard to live without her, it was easy to let her go as she soared straight to our daddy's arms. She's whole again - free of all her earthly afflictions. Hallelujah!
Oneta was born in Soper, Oklahoma on September 12,1927. She was happily married to Bill Townson for 69 years and they lived in Desoto, TX for 61 years. They had five very lively children.
Oneta was an exceptional wife, mother, grandmother and great- grandmother. She cared deeply for her family. She was the glue that held the family together. She loved us unconditionally, gave us guidance without being judgmental, showed us the importance of living a meaningful life, and was always there for us. Oneta was also loved by many friends - young and old. She touched so many lives. She was a warm, all- giving, all- loving Christian woman.
Oneta retired from the DeSoto school district as a manager of the elementary school cafeteria. She enjoyed making/ painting ceramics, photography, cake making, camping with Bill, and spending as much time as possible with her family. And let's not forget her vegetable garden... she loved her garden!
