She was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky on September 18, 1948 to the late James and Eura (Beller) Doty. Towanna graduated from Ben Davis High School in 1967. She married her childhood sweetheart, Ed Conder, on May 11, 1968. Towanna had a heart for children and spent most of her life working in daycares and preschools. 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.
