Mary Alice Toney

Mary Alice Osbon Toney, born November 24, 1935 in Pioneer LA, went to be with her heavenly Father on October 1, 2020. She did NOT have Covid-19. She did however, bear and raise 5 wonderful children, one of which preceded her in death, Michael \"Moochie\". She was also preceded in death by her parents, Henry Doward Osbon and Maude E. Copes; daughter-in-law, Becky Toney; brother, Bud Osbon; sisters, Ruth Rawls and Susie Bush; the father of her children, George Toney Jr and special friend, Lou Ann Wolk. She is survived by son, Danny Toney, of Shreveport, Louisiana; daughters, Shelia Pridgen and husband, Bob, of Benton, Louisiana, Becky Morris, and husband, Bill, of Haughton, Louisiana, and Georgia Owens and husband, Steve, of Bossier City, Louisiana; sisters, Elizabeth Brister of Bastrop, Louisiana, Betty Ezell and husband, Sam, of Grapevine, Texas, and Patsy Minton and husband, Doug, of Pioneer, Louisiana; brother, Tommy Osbon and wife, Kay, of Pioneer, Louisiana; as well as numerous grand-children, great grand-children, nieces, nephews and friends. Being a stay at home mom, she was active in Fairfield Elementary PT A, having served through the tenure of all 5 children. For all those years of service, she was awarded a certificate of achievement by the Principal. After raising her children, she went to work for AT&T for over 15 years until her retirement. She loved to travel, from Las Vegas to Atlantic City, Disney World to Alaska, or New Orleans to her tiny hometown of Pioneer, Louisiana. She enjoyed the food, the music, and the company of great friends and family. She especially enjoyed the Copes/Osbon family reunions. Mom was a kind, loving, gentle, and free spirit. If you knew her, you loved her. Even in her last years with COPD and dementia, she continued to be independent, full of laughter and loving life, bringing joy to all those around her. She especially loved Jose, Ana, and Aaron, who devoted much time and love to her. We cannot thank God enough for putting them in our path at a time when we needed them the most. They are like family to us. A visitation will be held on Sunday, October 4, 2020 from 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. at Rose-Neath Funeral Home on Airline Dr. in Bossier City. As per Toney\'s wishes, she will be cremated, with her ashes spread in some of the most meaningful locations to her. Her children see several road trips in their future.
