Courtney Lowery Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 31, 2024.
Courtney Ellen Lowery, 87 passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 28, 2024, following a life she cherished as a Mother of five children, Grandmother of fifteen grandchildren, two great grandchild and blessed with her beloved, Pupper Dog- Nova Shylow, the best Deer Striped Chihuahua, that ever adopted her, following her stay at The Welsey's Community in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she received compassion and exceptional care from the staff.

If you had the pleasure to know Courtney, she would tell you, she was born in Riverside, California, as the daughter of Clerance and Margaret White, until she went for a visit to Cohoes, New York, for Thanksgiving in 1964, and stayed after she went into labor for her son Randy (Chris) and if you wanted to know how old she was she would tell you, I was born June 24, 1937- you do the math!

If you were looking for Courtney, you could always find her dressed to the nines, with a knitting or crochet project in her lap, surrounded by her plants and Nova by her side. But you better not show up before she had her coffee, did her nails, and found the perfect pair of beautiful dangling earrings that complimented her gorgeous fur coat. If you were lucky enough for her to retell the stories that made up her life, you knew she lived her life on her terms with a passion most of us only aspire to. During your visit, you would be sure to hear her say, "You know that is how they make Angels" and we know now that God made one perfect angel, and her name is Mom, Nanna, Grandma and friend.

Please join her loving children, Skip Harsha (Edie) of Wilton, N. Y., Theresa Pink (Chuck) of Homasassa, F.L., Laura Hitzegrad (Skip) of Gansevoort, Christopher (Cathy) Pink of Ballston Spa, N. Y. and Charro (James) Wickham of Ballston Spa, N.Y., her grandchildren Jamie Lynn Harsha, Yvonne Marie (Chris) Hamelin, Jason (April) Bush, Heath (Deborah) Bush and bonus granddaughter Julie Anna, Timothy Pritchard, Jeremy Pritchard, Sarah Pritchard, Christopher (Kristen) Pink, Ryan (Carol) Pink, Raven Pink, Shelby (Bill) Handy , Jesse Wickham and Casandra Roberts (John) and great granddaughter's Harper Roberts and Emmalyn Reign, for a celebration of her life this Saturday, January 4th at the Rock City Falls Fire House from 10 a.m. to 2.p.m at 1119 Rock City Road, Rock City Falls, New York.

We know she will be happy listening to Elvis, eating and drinking an endless amount of chicken wings, lobster, beer and Pepsi in heaven with her family Walter Pink, Bill Morris, Glenn Hitzegrad, Timothy Knapp and her grandchildren Josh Pritchard, Hayden Bush and will watch over and wait for the rest of us patiently until we meet again.

Not sure if I can do this for I haven´t had a good cry yet, but I `m going to give it a shot, so bear with me.

Now she is gone, do not fear her memory. Do not be afraid to speak her name or look through old photographs and see her laughs. Do not be scared to play old messages so that you might hear her voice. Do not be afraid of visiting places you enjoyed together or eating her favorite foods or remembering some of her favorite songs, I know it will hurt, those memories will remind us that she is gone. It´s going to stab at us like a knife in a open wound.

Raw, Excruciating, Pain.

But after a while the knife will dull, the wound will start to heal and the pain will numb, and those memories will remind us that she was here, that she lived.

Do not reduce her life to her death, speak her name hear her voice, sing her favorite song and visit the places she liked and stop for a bucket of chicken along the way. Because that´s who Mamma was, and how she can stay alive a little, right here with you.

We love you Mom!

And I know I didn´t shave my beard, but I had to get you one last time. And by the way I´ll shave it when I´m Good God Dang and Ready!
