Charles D. Townsend 01-18-1933 • 12-16-2020 Paula S. Kennerly-Townsend 05-12-1937 • 2020

Over the Christmas holidays long-time Norco, California residents Charles (Toby) Townsend and his wife of six-four years, Paula Sue Kennerly-Townsend passed away due to COVID related complications. Transplants from Norman, Oklahoma, Toby and Paula moved to Norco in 1971, along with their two children, Tara and Jay. Both Toby and Paula were elementary school teachers for twenty-eight years in the Corona/Norco Unified School District. Indeed, their positive, formative influence on the children they taught was immeasurable; they will, no doubt, be sorely missed. However, because their collective wish was to be cremated and to have their ashes spread on the grounds where they first met in Holdenville, Oklahoma back in 1954, there will be no formal service. For those who would like to offer their condolences, you can send to the following address: 2070 Paddock Lane, Norco, CA 92860. They were survived by their two children, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
