Obituary - Joyce Wilhite Lowary

Joyce Wilhite Lowary (1936-2025) joined today with her Lord and Savior. We cherish and hold her in our hearts as we lay her to rest. She fought an unexpected battle and just wanted peace and love in her life. God Blessed her and kept her safe for many years. Now he calls her home.

Always remember, Those who believe in me (Our Lord) shall not perish but will have everlasting life.

She was preceded in death, Mother: Flora Mae Cates, and her Father Ernest E. Wilhite, Son James Edward Staley, her Sister Pat Hobby and her brother Clarence Wilhite

Survived: Her husband of 47 years Clarence Eldon Lowary (Pete) Daughter: Cynthia Staley Martin (Chris Martin) Cherished GrandChildren Sharon Polk Harry ( Chris) and Justin L. Polk (Emily) along with Great Grandchildren, Sydney and Phoenix Harry and Jaden and Briella Polk.

Everyone has gifts Joyce, had the gift of numbers, one of many examples, she knew the dates and appointments of the whole family. We would all say call Nana when we wanted to know where we were supposed to be. She was our gathering place, every Holiday, every venture we were all going to our Nana’s- Mom’s place.

She loved to shop but mostly for everyone else. She spoiled all of us, so much that we all thought we were the special one.

Her Husband and her have been married for 48 years. They have had a time of traveling, casino, shopping and dining plus the normal ups and downs of life.

She was a Loving Wife, Mother, Nana and Friend.

Joyce worked at Yoder Brothers for 37 years before retiring, she kept many special friends from that time of her life.

She was raised on a farm by her Grandmother and Grandfather, along with 10 Uncle and Aunts. They all did their share of chores on the farm. It’s her old fashion country home ways and her work ethics that made her who she was. She showed us what love was and we all are grateful. We all have a great foundation about life just by watching her.

Hug your loved ones, it is time spent, time loved, and found memories that keep us.

She was an adored Nana…She was not just my Mother She was forever my best friend.
