Mabel Owens

Mabel Owens, 90, of Circleville, passed away on Tuesday, April 28, 2020.  She was born November 7, 1929 in Pickaway County and was the daughter of the late Claude & Rena Bell Russell. She grew up on the farm with 15 brothers and sisters. She married Weldon Owens on June 23rd, 1948 in Greenup, Kentucky. In 1962 they built their dream home and spent over 50 years in the house. Mabel was a homemaker for over 30 years. She was a collector of beanie babies and Mickey Mouse collectibles, as well as coins.  Mabel loved the Pumpkin Show for the parades & fried food. Later in life she enjoyed her great-niece & nephew around the house. Her favorite person in the world was Presley R Bastian. Mabel spent her late 80’s enjoying her nail & hair days with Presley.  She told everyone that she babysat them when they were babies. She never held back; you got God’s honest truth. All of her older friends were jealous of Mabel’s complexion and she frequently reminded everyone of her age.

Mabel lost her husband Weldon in January 2018. Mabel is survived by Deborah & Shawn Valdez, Granddaughters Angelina & Andrea, 6 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren as well as Rob, Presley & Trevor Bastian
