Lowana Lee Towes

1947 - 2016

Lowana entered the gates of heaven on November 29th as she went to sleep and awoke in the arms of God. Lowana was born on December 1, 1947 in Laward, Texas to Ruby and Fred Baker. Left to cherish her memory is her husband Russell, children Nathan (Krista) and Dawn (AnnaLopez), stepdaughter Michele (Jeff) Green. Those that called her Nana include Jeffrey and Connor Green, Melysa, Rachel and Bentley Irvin, Morgan Towes and Eastyn Towes Lopez. Loving Sister Freeda Brown. Lowana spent countless hours helping young people learn to love softball, basketball and tennis while instilling in them many life lessons. Lowana was an avid tennis player and nothing could keep her off the courts, not even losing her vision in one eye. Lowana was a true winner and perfect in most every way and with everything she tried to accomplish. Any doubts about her perfection she would be fast to point out how perfect she was. Her greatest gifts were her love of the Lord, her sense of humor, along with her selfless commitment to her family and friends. No matter what the task or how long it may take Lowana would be there to get it done. Lowana built a life based upon service to others and honoring the Christian values she demonstrated daily in her life. Her greatest smiles would come from her telling a great joke, playing with Morgan or Eastyn. She was leader to the young, friend to all, and a fierce competitor.
