Twila Gail Prowell, 48, of Waco, passed away on Thursday, July 20, 2017.

Visitation: Thursday, July 27, 2017 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM at Lake Shore Funeral Home.

Funeral Service: Friday July 28, 2017 at 11:30AM in the Chapel at Lake Shore Funeral Home.

Burial: Oakwood Cemetery

Twila was born January 29, 1969 in Rosebud, Texas to the late Andrew Thomas and Mary Elizabeth Cagle Prowell.

Twila was a bright, loving, caring, and generous woman. She had the heart the size of Texas and was pure as gold. Twila never met a stranger, her smile was contagious and her laugh was infectious. The love she had in her heart is hard to put into words. Her kids were her world. She loved to no end. She knew that tomorrow is never promised, and she lived in that way. She never took a single day for granted and lived life to the fullest. She didn’t think twice to just hop in the truck and take a road trip to the beach. The beach is where she found her peace. Twila saw the beauty in God’s creations. She loved the Lord with all her heart and she showed that with every person that came within her path. We will never forget the love she had for music and dancing.

Twila leaves behind to cherish her memory, sons, Ryan Robertson and Braylon Bartlett; daughter, Chelsey Brinson and husband Dustin; grandson, Kaiden Robertson; sisters, Susan Abbott and husband Paul, Sandy Juntunen and husband Duane, Mitzi McGaugh and husband Doug, Sharon Curry and husband Ronnie; brothers, Dale Prowell and wife Tina, Joe Prowell, Andy Prowell and wife Deborah; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and loving friends and family.

There is one song that best describes her; She Loved:

Someone once asked, “If only you knew how short life would be, what would you do? What would they say when God called you home? What would they engrave once you were gone?”

I hope they would see what I’ve done in my life, who I’ve cared for, and how I survived! I hope they’d say “She loved more than anything else. She loved with all of her heart. She loved everyone She believed in!”

She loved… oh She loved! She loved the Lord and served all her life a sacrificial mother, and an honorable wife! She gave all She had and through every trial made life much sweeter, because of her smile everyone will see what She’s done in her life! Who She cared for and how She survived! I’m sure they’d say She loved more than anything else! She loved with all of her heart She loved everyone she believed in!! She loved… oh she loved She loved… everyone she believed in She loved.oh she loved Oh… She loved!

I was lucky enough to work with twila in Whitney for almost two years. We stayed in touch through Facebook after she left the cafe and I was so happy for her to have finally met someone who made her so happy. Im so confused about all of this, it’s so senseless and heart breaking. Twila my friend,I guess you were just so awesome that God made you an angel. Prayers for your family.

Ashley you couldn’t have said it better. Fair, loving, and the mother to every young waiter and waitress when I worked at Texas Roadhouse.

I knew Twila as the loving mother of one of my former kindergarten student, Brayden. She was a very supportive parent,who would send me encouraging notes. I still have one of her kind notes, even after fifteen or so years. Hugs and prayers to her family. May you find peace and God’s love during this time of unmeasurable grief.

But I know you are dancing with such joy and in the presence of the Lords Glory. I will see you again some day and you can show me country roads of his amazing grace. I love you sweet cousin. And to the family, you all know y’all are in my heart and prayers and I love each and everyone of you. We don’t see each other as often as we should but the love of family will always remain.

Condolence from Gene & Linda Spearman on July 27th, 2017 1:50 pm

Sharon and all the family, my heart breaks for each of you. All I can think is that God needed a beautiful rose for His garden. Twila, as each of us, came to earth on a loan and God said it was time for her to come home. Now she is singing in God’s choir and her work on earth is done. Love her life, keep close her memore and she will continue to live in your hearts. Love to all of you,
Gene and Linda Spearman

Condolence from Priscilla Gutierrez Stinnett on July 27th, 2017 4:40 pm

Twila was the purest representation of God’s love, light and goodness. What a treasure to have known her.

Twila’s Family…
How does one console the loss of a mother, a grandmother, a sister? Know that God Loves You. He Always Has. He Always Will. And so many people love you also!

I pray that now, more than ever, the Comforter would rest and remain upon each of you. May the sweet wonderful presence of the Heavenly Father clothe you in magnificent love and grace that only He offers.

Blessings always,

Condolence from Charlene Vance Barbarick on July 27th, 2017 4:42 pm

Twila’s death is a great loss to us all. She was too young and full of life. I know that death is in God’s time and not ours, but it is hard to understand. My prayers will continue to be with you all during this very difficult time. I pray that Twila’s spirit will live on through her family and friends. For you her family, I will pray that God grants you strength, peace, and understanding. It will be very difficult to move on, but she would expect you to. Praying daily for you.

I have gotten to know her over the years. Twila was always so generous and loving. She was exceptionally caring during some of my darkest times. I will miss her kind words and the brightness brought to those around her. I am so sorry for your loss and want you know she will always hold a very special place in my heart.

What a lovely person to have know. We met her at the Whitney Café she was so beautiful and so much fun. Every time we went to the café she always came and gave us a hug. I just found out today about her passing. God Bless her family. We love you and miss you Twila.

Condolence from Olivia Johnson on July 31st, 2017 3:16 pm

I knew your family when you lived in Chilton, and loved “spending the night” with Sandy. I remember when Twila was a cute little sister–already with a bright smile as a tiny girl. I, too, am from a large family, and I can only imagine the devastation and loss you feel. I am so sorry to hear of Twila’s passing. You are all in my thoughts at this sad time. -Olivia Whitaker Johnson

Condolence from Sandy Prowell Juntunen on January 23rd, 2021 3:43 am

I was going back over Twilas obituary and saw your name. I guess I missed it before. We all were in shock, probably missed a lot after losing her.
Thank you for remembering Twila, you were always so thoughtful. I’d love to hear from you, if you ever see this. I’m on Facebook, as Sandy Juntunen. Or my phone # is 254 7175339.
