Evelyn Lowery Obituary
Family spokeswoman Diane Larche said the 88-year-old Lowery died Thursday morning. She had been hospitalized since Sept. 18 after suffering a severe stroke and returned home on Wednesday night, after medical experts said the stroke had caused irreversible damage.
Joseph Lowery said his wife devoted her life to serving others.
"My beloved Evelyn was a special woman, whose life was committed to service, especially around the issues of empowering women," Lowery, a past president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said in a statement to The Associated Press.
The SCLC, which traces its beginnings to the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott, organized nonviolent protests as it pushed for an end to segregation around the South during the civil rights mov ement.
Evelyn Lowery founded SCLC/WOMEN Inc. in 1979. The group works to empower women, girls and families. She also created the Drum Major for Justice Awards, held annually in April in Atlanta.
"As a woman and warrior in the non-violent struggle for justice, Mrs. Evelyn Lowery boldly confronted the challenges of racism and sexism, never flinching, never failing in her commitment to the best in the American spirit," said the Rev. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King, Jr. and his father once preached.
U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., said he was chairing a Democratic Caucus meeting in the U.S. Capitol when he learned of Evelyn Lowery's death and asked members to observe a moment of silence in her honor.
"Mrs. Lowery was a pillar of our community, a valuable participant in the struggle for civil rights, and an admired role model to the young people she mentored," Lewis said in a statement.
Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young told WXIA-TV in Atlanta, "Nobody was more active and more dedicated and nobody did any more for the civil rights movement than Evelyn Lowery. The unsung heroes of the civil rights movement were always the wives and the mothers."
Bernice King, CEO of the Martin Luther King Center, said Evelyn Lowery was a dedicated and energetic leader and one of the most widely respected figures in the civil rights movement.
Earlier this month, Joseph and Evelyn Lowery were in Birmingham, Ala., for the 50th anniversary of a church bombing that killed four black girls in 1963.
"She was a wonderful mother and wife, and I thank God that she didn't suffer any pain and that I was blessed having her as my partner, my confidant and my best friend for close to 70 years," Joseph Lowery said. "I will miss her each and every day, but as a man of faith, I know that she is with her God."
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

I had the opportunity to spend some time with Mrs Lowery when she and her husband visited Antigua in 2009. I was moved by her warm and wonderful spirit and her passion and support for women, youth and families. May her soul R.I.P.

I like to light a candle to represent all the sunshine and light Ms.Evelyn brought into the lives of those children, teens, college students and the adults that came from Boston to Atlanta for the Civil Rights Tour. Ms. Evelyn was a beacon of Light guiding us educationally to the Civil Rights movement.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. Mrs. Evelyn was a great women, I will miss her. We were called the Northern Delegation because each year I would bring more youth and adults to the civil rights tour. We were up to 15 people flying from Boston to enjoy the Civil Rights Bus Tour each March. Ms. Evelyn was so gracious to put us on the 1st bus and make sure we got back for our flight to Boston on Sunday. Words can not express how much I will miss her. I had a brain aneurysm and had to stop bringing groups but God is good and I am ready to bring a group in 2015 in honor of Ms. Evelyn. Isn't it great we have a guardian angel in heaven looking down on us.
Love Sharon Watson Beck, Boston Mass.

May the Lord watch between thee, while she is absent - and may you be comforted knowing God is a very present help in time of trouble (Psalms 46); with sincere love and appreciation for this awesome Woman of God; she gave so much yet judging from her family -- she kept you all grounded in prayer W-O-W that is incredible. I only hope you all will write and publish her wisdom and knowledge for us to emulate her. Be blessed in knowing we share your love and are praying for you!

To the family of Mrs. Evelyn Lowery My prayers are with you at this very difficult time. A woman of valor, seek her out; she is to be valued above rubies. She opens her hand to those in need and extends her help to the poor. Adorned with strength and dignity, she faces the future cheerfully. Her speech is wise; the law of kindness is on her lips. Those who love her rise up with praise and call her blessed: "Many have done well, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive and beauty short-lived, but a woman loyal to God has truly earned praise. Honor her for all of her offerings; her life proclaims her praise.

May all of you be comforted by the outpouring of love and prayers you have received. Please accept my deepest sympathy and blessings.

To Dr. Lowery and Family,
With much love and deepest sympathy.
Yes, Mrs. Lowery will be missed by you all of course, but by so many others as well. I agree with Dr. Lowery, myself being a woman of faith I know she's another angel gone home to be with the Lord. I can't help but to think of the loving reception she received from God and so many other fallen soldiers of the movement such as Dr. & Mrs. King, Rev. Abernathy, Jimmie Lee Jackson, Rev. James Orange,& Rev. Hosea Williams just to name a few, as she walked though those Gates of Pearls.
Continued prayers for you and the entire Lowery family. Be encouraged.
With Love, Mary A.Thomas (MT)& Family

And perfect for the woman you adore.

Then her transition by the love of God to her heavenly home above.
May God keep you and your family in perfect peace;
