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.
Twila, sweet , intelligent, compassionate, and driven woman. I would like to give my sincerest condolences to the family especially her children. Chels, Ryan, and Braylon. I pray for strength and healing for all of you at this time. I remember when I waitressed at Texas Roadhouse and Twila always made sure she was fair and loyal to everyone around her. She always had that beautiful smile beaming from her. I know she was a wonderful person and God is truly honored to have gained another angel. She Is now looking down on everyone with that big beautiful smile wishing the best for everyone . May God lay his hands on the family at this time of sorrow and hurt. Rest In Peace sweet lady .
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. What an amazing influence she was on how to deal with challenges with grace, show strangers compassion, and have empathy for everyone you meet. You will be missed, sweet Twila!
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.
Twila, you will always be in my heart!! you taught me so much about loving life and being happy. You will be missed by so very many! We now have 1 of the most beautiful angels watching over us. Till I see you again and hug your beautiful neck! You are the brightest star in the Texas sky.
Ryan, Chelsey, and Braylon,

Sharon, I so sorry to hear about Twila. I met her when Cindy brought me to the cafe. May God comfort you and the family she leaves behind.
Brenda
I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for peace and comfort.
Twila I will sure miss seeing you at the gym. I never understood why you was there because you was so pretty inside and out. 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.
Sweet Twila…You were Amazing at Texas Cafe in Whitney. You worked so very hard to please every customer. You met me and my husband with a Sweet Hug & a Beautiful Smile. GOD called a Beautiful Angel home when He opened HIS arms for You!
Sharon I cannot imagine your pain and confusion but I know u love the Lord so I pray for peace not only for you but for everyone. I didn’t realize until lately but your nephew Braylon worked for me. I love you and will continue to pray for all your family.
Twila was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved the Lord and she had a smile that was contagious. My condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
Sandy, Mitzi, Sharon, Susan, Joe, Andy, Dale;. My deepest sorrow for the loss of this bright star on Earth! May her light of love shine on you always. Love each other and God more than all else. Life is short, make it count. I love you guys! Sue Arnett
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
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,
Your Smile is so beautiful, Your Smile is so beautiful!
All I could say to You just a few months ago when I was in Waco!!!! Your Heart & Soul was so pure.
My prayers are with the Family.
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.
Beautiful Twila….
An Angel on earth; now an Angel in Heaven.

To Twila’s family and friends,
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.
My deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences. I so wanted to be there today for her funeral. Thinking of the entire Prowell family. Much Love
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.
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
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.
