Twila's story took a romantic turn when she met her husband, Frank Caudill, at a party she had daringly snuck out to attend. Frank, who was on leave from the military, was immediately smitten with Twila. Their love story was one for the ages, culminating in a beautiful Christmas Eve wedding in 1955. Twila was resplendent in a turquoise pant suit, while Frank wore his military uniform with pride. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and two wonderful children, Jayne (Kenneth Faulkner) and Frank Jr (the late Barbara).

Twila's family extended beyond her immediate kin, as she was a loving sister to Carter (Jennifer), Marshall (Faye), Sherri (Jerry), Debbie, and the late Jimmie, Kedrick "Rick," and Flona.
Twila's zest for life was evident in her numerous interests and hobbies. She was an avid bowler, participating in leagues and cherishing the camaraderie of the game. Her grand and great-granddaughters fondly remember the special tea parties she would host, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Twila's love for her family was also expressed through the joy of shopping trips with her grandchildren, where laughter and stories were shared in abundance.
