Betty Lee (Sherman) Lowe, 85, longtime resident of Longview, died April 29, 2012, at the Hospice Care Center.
She was born July 19, 1926, in Seattle, Washington. She had lived in Twisp, Elma, Ellensburg and Seattle before moving to Longview in 1953.
In the mid 1940's, Betty attended Washington State University for two years.
She married Donald G. Lowe in 1947. They later divorced in 1972.
In the early 1970s, she earned a nursing degree from Lower Columbia College, and went to work at St. John Medical Center until she retired in 1992.
Patients and their families would recognize her around Longview for years after she retired, and always wanted to thank her for how well she had cared for them and their loved ones.
Betty's special gifts were her sweet disposition, her love of nature and all its creatures, an easygoing personality and an innate kindness to everyone. She took pride and joy in tending to her garden and home on Longview's Old West Side, always with a pampered cat at her side. She appreciated the natural beauty of each season and was a regular walker at Lake Sacajawea for many years. She enjoyed living in the Pacific Northwest, watching Mariners games, collecting antiques, reading, celebrating holidays with her family, volunteering at St. John's, and gardening, including growing her own vegetables every spring.
Her three children and their families loved her deeply, and will miss her gentle and loving spirit. They include Sandra (John) Calahan of Steilacoom, Wash., Susan (Steve Martin) Lowe of Covington, Wash., and Stephen (Yan Chen) Lowe of Seattle. She leaves four grandchildren, Patrick (Grace) Calahan, Amy Calahan, Karen Lowe and Ulysses Lowe; and two great-grandchildren, Lauren and Liam.
She also enjoyed time spent with her many Sherman relatives, including her brother, Stanley (deceased in 2011) and his family, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
A memorial service is planned for July at Mountain View Memorial Park in Tacoma.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society and SPCA of Cowlitz County.
Arrangements are by Steele Chapel at Longview Memorial Park & Crematory.
