US NAVAL AIR FORCE
Father: William Elden Lowe
Mother: Sarah Spafford Lowe
Spouse: Geraldean "Jerrie" Jones Lowe
Early Life: Ray had a rough life as a child; his mother passed away when he was five years old. His sister, Alma, stepped in at fifteen years old to be a mother to him and to his other sister, Louise. In his younger years, he attained a pilot's license, and loved to fly. He was fascinated with astronomy and looked to the stars often.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: Soon after graduating from Springville High School, Ray joined the Naval Air Force. He flew and was part of the flight crew; serving on Shore Patrol the last year of his service. After serving four years, he met Geraldean "Jerrie" Jones. A few short months later, they were married, and moved into his father's home. His father was ill and needed someone to take care of him. All four years that he was in the service, Ray had sent money home for his father while serving. When Ray got out, he went to work at Geneva Steel Plant for 30 years. The two times he was laid off, he worked at Tooele Army Depot as a security officer. After working thirteen years at the steel mill, he received an apprenticeship. He worked hard, was a straight A student and received his Master Electrician Certificate. He, at one time, had his own TV repair shop. He had a passion for genealogy. Ray's family will always remember his kindness, generosity and willingness to help anyone. He loved his family very much, as they love him.
