She fought cancer twice, through the help of doctors and staff at Gettysburg Cancer Center. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kermit L. and Catherine A. Lowe and was a devout Catholic, though she was unable to attend lately. She graduated from St. Joseph's High School in Emmitsburg in 1973.
