DANNY LOVE-TEMPLETON
Danny
Love-Templeton went home to be with the Lord on September 22, 2014. At the time
of her death she was approximately 15 years old.
A loyal companion to Huel M. Love until his death in
February 2004, Danny then assumed the care of his widow Betty. The two ladies
loved spending time together and became close friends as for the next 7 years they
traveled the interstate between Talladega and Tuscaloosa. In 2011, Betty and
Danny permanently relocated to an address at Springbrook Circle in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama where they remained until Betty passed away in January 2012. Realizing she
still had members of the Love family to care for and that retirement was out of
the question Danny moved across town to the Templeton home.
Although never a barker (a lady never barks), Danny was
still quite chatty and immediately made friends in her new neighborhood. She
enjoyed visiting with her next door neighbors Ms. Shelby and Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson and occasionally sharing a little back fence banter with Mr. and Mrs.
Duckworth. Her days were spent digging holes in Shawn’s mulch beds and mapping
out elaborate plans to help Julie catch raccoons. Always a fan of a good joke,
Danny loved to rush to the front yard and play dead whenever Ms. Bryant would
pass by walking her dog.
She began to gray and her arthritis became a problem but
Danny wore those badges with pride not once asking Dr. Avertte’s office to
apply color. Like most women of the South, Ms. Danny never revealed her true
age or weight, and took both secrets with her to the grave.
A loyal friend, companion, daughter, sister and coon
hunting buddy Danny Love-Templeton will be greatly missed.
I hope that you find comfort in this, your time of remembrance. I am regretful that I never had the pleasure to meet Danny Love-Templeton. I hope that you are recalling all of the fond memories.
