Towne, Garth Oscar

Wild Rose – 1933-2020

Garth Towne, Wild Rose, passed away suddenly on January 22, 2020.

As we confronted life without a beloved husband, brother, father, and grandfather, we took comfort from plans to come together to celebrate his life with family and friends at the Springwater Volunteer Covered Bridge Park, Wild Rose. This event was to take place on May 24, 2020, two days before what would have been his 87th birthday. Given the current situation with COVID-19, that celebration has been postponed until further notice.

While we remain apart at this time, there will be a day we can meet again at the Covered Bridge Park to remember Garth who was a lover of story-telling, family and friends, chocolate, and a merciless checker player. At that time, we will be serving Garth’s five favorite food groups. As he would say, “Cookies, Cake, Candy and Pie … and if you forget the fifth one, just have another cookie.” We look forward to that day.

Until that time, you are invited to add remembrances and to share stories that you would have told us in person to the on-line condolences at https://www.maplecrestfh.com/notices/Garth-Towne. We will enjoy reading them and will take comfort in them until the day when we can all come together to raise a glass of milk and a cookie to honor Garth Towne. Updates as to the rescheduling of the celebration of Garth’s life will be posted on the Maple Crest Funeral Home site above and in the local papers.
