Allison M. Lowe

Allison M. Lowe Allison Margaret Lowe, 33, passed away unexpectedly on January 16, 2021. We have lost a brilliant heart and she is sorely missed. Alli spent almost her whole life in Marin County, California, attending Las Gallinas (now Venetia Valley) Elementary, Davidson Middle School, and Terra Linda High. Her early life was filled with gymnastics, art projects, and horses. At Davidson, she fell in love with the cello, joining the middle school Crescendo program, and graduating to the Marin Symphony Youth Orchestra. She later toured China with the American Philharmonic (Santa Rosa) and became a cello teacher. Allison went on to work in legal administration while continuing her education at College of Marin. Her favorite classes were English, public speaking, and dramatic improvisation, which gave her a space to use her infinite imagination, sense of humor, and light-speed creativity. Allison's compassion, gentleness and courage showed in all she did - her music, her art and her delightfully warm humor. Whenever you spoke with her, you knew you were the center of her attention. She remembered the small things that people liked in ways that startled us and made us feel appreciated. Under all of this was a core of courage not immediately visible even to those who loved her. The world is darker without her. Allison is survived by her father, Scott Lowe (Deborah); her mother, Valerie Taylor; her brothers Benjamin (Emily) and Elliott; her grandmother Janet Lowe; and loving aunts, cousins, and nieces, as well as devoted friends. An online memorial will be held at 1:00 p.m. PST on Saturday, February 20, 2021. For information on how to attend, please visit https://www.forevermissed.com/allison-lowe/.
