On Jan. 2, 2015, God welcomed to heaven Lucile Howard Lowery.
Lucile was born Dec. 4, 1921 in the community of Wing near Andalusia to Will and Susie Knight Howard.
Lucile attended Pleasant Home School near Andalusia.
She and her husband moved to Gulf Shores in the early 1950s and operated a service station and garage for many years.
She was one of the few remaining “Old Timers” who remembered Gulf Shores as a small community where you knew all the locals. She retired from Solutia (Foville) in January 1987.
She was a faithful Christian who prayed and read her Bible daily. Her life was built on her faith, family, love of country and a strong work ethic. She looked forward to the visits with her pastor, the Rev. Ryan Cramer.
She loved her family, especially her grandson Bart, the apple of her eye.
She enjoyed cooking and serving her family their favorite foods. Lucille enjoyed visits with family and friends and especially the little ones, Kate, Jane and Emma (daughters of Lisa Hamburg Bastin), and Ava and Jack (daughter and son of Leigh Anne Hamburg Fleming).
Lucile loved the outdoors, and her gardening advice will be sorely missed by her beloved son-in-law, Fred, and her country cooking tips by her daughter, Jewel.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert; daughter, Judy; son, Marvin; and brothers, Beryl and Knight.
Lucile is survived by a daughter, Jewel and her husband, Fred; a grandson, Bart and his wife, Marguerite; a sister, Isabelle Mosley; and beloved nieces, nephews and their families.
A graveside service is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015 at Pine Rest Memorial Park in Foley.
Visitation will be held from Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Home in Foley on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015, from 8:30 until 9:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Stained Glass Window Repair Fund, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 1603, Foley, AL 36536.
Arrangements by Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Home, Foley.
