She was Director of New Life Assembly of God Daycare for several years before retiring from Children’s Village after 10 years. Because of Towanna’s patience and love, the children gravitated towards her. Her love for children inspired her to receive her associate’s degree in early childhood education from Ivy Tech in 2002.
Towanna enjoyed reading mysteries and romance novels. She loved her television shows, especially HGTV, ID, and soap operas. Towanna was a member of Trinity Fellowship Church of God.
