Mrs. Lowe was born November 8, 1920 in Covington, Ga. She was the daughter of Fred Hewell, Sr. and Mary Willie Veale Hewell.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Fred Clinton Hewell of Watkinsville (Marjorie), and her loving husband of 49 years, James Vestal Lowe.

With her Father passing away when she was two, she and her Mom and brother  moved to Arnoldsville where her Mother was Seamstress.  She graduated from Winterville High School in 1939.  Neighborhood gatherings were often held at her home and was where she met the love of her life and was married.
