Mary Frances Townson

Sept. 30, 1936 – Feb. 16, 2006

Mary was born Sept. 20, 1936 in Oklahoma City, Okla. and she passed away Feb. 
16, 2006 in Tehachapi. It was a day of rejoicing in heaven when Mary was 
called home. The pain and suffering was over and the burdens of chronic 
illness lifted. 

Mary was a devoted housewife, mother, grandmother and sister. Always unselfish 
and generous with her family and friends, she worked alongside her husband Joe 
throughout their 50 years of marriage in various business ventures including 
the management of the Tehachapi Airport facility for 20 years and Townco 
Lumber Yard & Hardware in Mojave. She adored her family and she worked 
tirelessly to provide a home sweet home. She was the perfect example of what a 
woman should be. 

Mary is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Patrick Townson; parents, 
Robert and Laura Downs; sister, Iona Scott; brother, Robert Downs Jr. and 
sister, Sue Nell Downs. Mary is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Terri 
and Trey Roper; daughter and son-in-law, Karen and John McCormick; daughter 
and son-in-law, Patricia and Jim Honeycutt; grandchildren, Joshua McCormick 
and his wife Lydia, Tori McCormick, Daniel Joseph and Kristy Roper, Alex and 
Kristin Honeycutt; great granddaughter, Sloane Annabelle McCormick; brother, 
Jim Downs; sisters-in-law, Hazel Miller, Iva Helm and Rachel Ritchie; sisters-
in-law and brothers-in-law, Virginia and Manny Clark, George and Diane Townson 
and Dorse and Carolyn Townson; adopted sister, Mary McCormick; step-sister,

members and friends.
