Elizabeth Towler Obituary
She is survived by two daughters, Mary Towler Pierce Rae and husband, Bill of Little Rock and Jacquelyn Towler Wood of Bryan, Texas; sister, Louise Councille of Warren; aunt, Marguerite Hennessey of Pine Bluff; four grandsons, William Jackson Pierce and wife, Freida of Birmingham, Alabama, H. Benjamin Pierce and wife Mary of Natchitoches, Louisiana, John Towler Wood and wife, Lois of Canton, North Carolina and Jeffrey G. Wood and wife Debra of Colorado Springs, Colorado; eleven great-grandchildren; three step-great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, George Jackson “Jack” Towler; sisters, Eleanor W. Blankenship and Lynn W. Hunter; brother, James Preston White; grandson, Robert Preston Towler Pierce; and son-in-laws, Benny Pierce and John Wood.
She was a beautiful and remarkable woman who served Drew County as County Treasurer, after her husband, Jack, was drafted into the 2nd World War, and served as Drew County Sheriff after her husband’s death, while he was in office. Her fun-loving, caring, and brave spirit and her desire to feed the “multitudes” has left a legacy of a loving family and many loving friends.

Jackie and Mary Louise,
You are in my thoughts and prayers and I share in your loss. How fortunate we all are for having had Liz in our lives. There are so many wonderful memories spanning a lifetime which began in Wilmar many years ago. I have never known a more caring, loving and supportive person as Liz, and those traits will always be the first thoughts in my mind when I remember her. Take care of yourselves and each other and I hope to see you both again soon.

What an amzing person Mama Liz was! And, how lucky I was to have known her. I can remember watching her make curtains for Bill & Freida's entire house in one short visit to Alabama. My heart goes out to all of you in your loss. I know you will miss her.
Much love,
Felicia
