Twila was deeply admired for her long career in the insurance industry, where she served as an executive assistant. She was known for her exceptional work ethic, unwavering dedication, and her passion for doing her job well. She was respected by colleagues and loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Outside of work, Twila had a wide range of interests and a vibrant personality. She was known for her sarcastic sense of humor, her fierce love of cats—especially her two beloved companions, Mikey and Joey—and her generosity to anyone in need. She delighted in her love for Jesus & her daily Bible readings. One of her favorite things is when her beloved son Richard Lee Nauss Jr (Rick) would stop by her house to visit her & share scripture with her & of course fix anything she asked him to. She loved hosting Christmas Eve parties for all of her family & her favorite was beating everyone at Uno. She enjoyed and cherished her time with friends from her Sunday school class at Asbury Methodist Church.
Twila will be remembered for her warmth, laughter, and the countless good times she shared with her family and friends. She was a light in many lives and will be deeply missed.
