East Herkimer, N.Y. —
Marjorie H. Lowther, age 94, formerly of Main Road, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on Thursday morning, Feb. 21, 2013, in Faxton-St. Luke’s Medical Center, town of New Hartford.
She was born on May 11, 1918, in Herkimer, daughter of the late Beecher and Elsie Krouse Hart. A lifelong Herkimer resident, she was a graduate of Herkimer High School. She furthered her education, graduating from The Excelsior School of Business in Utica.
On Dec. 2, 1939, she was united in marriage with Robert N. Lowther in Middletown. They shared a blessed and devoted union of thirty-eight years until his passing on July 13, 1977.
For thirty-six years, Mrs. Lowther worked in the Herkimer County Clerk’s Office. She retired in 1981 as senior accounting clerk.
Marjorie had a strong faith in God and was a lifelong member of Christ Episcopal Church in Herkimer. For many years, she was a member of Saint Mary’s Guild and the church Altar Society. She was also a member of the East Herkimer Ladies Auxiliary Volunteer Fire Department, the town of Herkimer Senior Citizens and the AARP. In her leisure time, she enjoyed playing Pitch, Pinochle, Bridge and especially Go-Fish with her great-grandchildren.
To all who knew her, they will never forget a sincere, caring and hopeful person. She found much satisfaction in doing for others while looking for nothing in return. She will be greatly missed by her many friends and family.
Surviving her are two daughters, Roberta Pawlowich, of East Herkimer, and Patricia Baker and her husband, Richard, of Palmetto, Fla.; five grandchildren, Lisa Macri and her companion, Douglas Comstock, of Little Falls, Michele Treen and her husband, Craig, of Schuyler, Bonnie Keller and her husband, Jeffrey, of East Herkimer, Robert Baker and his wife, Jolene, of Cedarville, and Brandon Baker and his wife, Juanita, of Little Rock, Ark.; great-grandchildren, Tiffany and Jason Rando, of the town of Ohio, Collin and Karli Treen, of Schuyler, Courtney and Dan Macri, of Little Falls, Douglas Marquissee, of Ilion, Christopher and Carrie Marquissee, of East Herkimer, Eric Keller, of Troy, Holly Keller, of Herkimer, Brandon and William Baker, of Little Falls, and Sheila, Robert and Nicole Baker, of Cedarville; three great-great-grandchildren, Kiarra Cisco, of Herkimer, and Emily and Anna Marquissee, of East Herkimer; and one brother, Donald Hart and his wife, Patricia, of Schenectady.
Besides her parents and husband, Robert, she was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Daniel Pawlowich; a grandson, Allan Baker; a granddaughter, Julie Pawlowich; a great-granddaughter, Jenna Marquissee; four brothers, Henry, Robert, Beecher and Ronald Hart; and a sister, Ruth Miller.
Calling hours for Mrs. Lowther will be on Sunday from 2 until 5 p.m. in Fenner Funeral Home, Inc., 115 Court St., Herkimer. Funeral service with Holy Eucharist will take place on Monday at 11 a.m. in Christ Episcopal Church, Herkimer. The Very Reverend Paul Bailey will officiate. Interment will be in Oak Hill Cemetery later this spring.
Expressions of sympathy may be made with memorial donations to Christ Episcopal Church or the East Herkimer Ladies Auxiliary Volunteer Fire Department. Envelopes will be provided at the funeral home.
