Titus Family
The piney woods of deep South Georgia went silent with sadness on Saturday morning, August 16, 2008. Theo Titus, III passed away peacefully after a long illness. He was born in Thomasville March 12, 1920 to Theo Titus, Jr. and Margaret Crovatt Titus.
He is survived by his beloved wife and companion of 68 years, Camille. He was pre-deceased by his parents, his sister Margaret Garnett, his brother Joe Titus and his son, Michael Titus.
His large, loving and devoted family include: Theo IV of Tallahassee and his family Tamara, Everett and Russell; Camille Albert Don of Indialantic, FL and her family Ed, Danielle, Mandy and Carrie; Margaret Titus of Thomasville and her family Arden, Jessica, Mary and Joe; Owen Titus of Mooresville, NC and his family, Rebecca; Gilda Williams of Thomasville and her family Lyle, Ashlyn and Neal; Eleanor Titus Rob of Portland, OR and her family Luke and Michael and his sister, Mary Dailey. There are great-grandchildren too numerous to name but he knew and loved every one of them.
Theo served in World War II in the Army Air Corps now the Air Force, owned and ran Titus Cadillac Co. for 20 years; served another 20 years with FEMA and then followed the family history by serving for 10 years in the Georgia House of Representatives. He will be most remembered for his 20 year career as a columnist for the Thomasville Times-Enterprise, retiring in 2006. His more than 1, 000 columns – mostly about nature – read like letters to friends and people adored them according to his daughter Margaret. They were compiled into a book called "An Outdoor Heritage – stories from a South Georgia Life" that will be re-published in the fall.
Private graveside services will be held on Tuesday August 19, 2008, with military honors to follow at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Thomasville, GA. A memorial service will be held on Saturday August 23, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. in the sancuary of St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
