Billy Mac Townsend, 80, of Brownsville passed away peacefully with family by his side at his home.
The Kinder, MO native was a son of the late Claude Wayne Townsend and Mabel Mildred Way Townsend. He was a retired assembly line worker at GM Corvette Assembly, a 40-year member of Hays Lodge #517 F & AM, a member of Local 2164 UAW, a member of Stump Bluff Militia and a Baptist. He enjoyed flintlocks and black powder shooting, watching NASCAR and deer hunting. He was also a handy man of sorts- he could fix anything and wouldn’t stop trying until he did. He was preceded in death by a grandson, Cody Cowles; a sister, Bonnie Hisaw; and two brothers, David Townsend and Terry Townsend.
No public services are scheduled. Burial will take place in Townsend Green Cemetery. Gravil Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Surviving are his wife of 61 years, Patricia Sue Berry Townsend; two sons, Thomas Townsend (Amy) and Duane Townsend both of Brownsville; a daughter, Danilla Bailey (Meech) of Brownsville; four grandchildren, Tiffany Heath, Clay Townsend, Jake Townsend and Katie Townsend; six great grandchildren, Natalie Lashley, Brantley Lashley, Kinley Lashley, Wyatt Townsend, Piper Townsend and Samuel Townsend; and several nieces and nephews.
