James Lowther Obituary
James M. Lowther, 87, died on Thursday, July 5, 2018, at Mercy Hospital in Lorain.
He was born on Jan. 20, 1931, to the late James E. and Dorothy (nee Davis) Lowther. James was a lifelong Wellington resident and graduated from Wellington High School. In 1951, James enlisted in the Marie Corps and served during the Korean Conflict.
James worked in construction and was a proud member of the labor union. He attended the Wellington First United Congregational Church, helped with the Wellington alumni meetings and enjoyed volunteering with the Harvest of the Arts.
He never missed breakfast at the diner and loved reading his morning paper. James could often be found at the Herrick Memorial Library as he had a passion for reading. His other hobbies included cooking, baking, and gardening.
He is survived by his children, Jim (Teri) Lowther of Sheffield, Jay (Leanna) Lowther of Wellington, and Jack (Lisa) Lowther of South Amherst; grandchildren Rachel, Jimmy, Eddie, Janet, Rebecca (Jeb), J.J., Amanda (Abraham), Michaela, and Nathan; eight great-grandchildren; and sister, Marha Troyer of Virginia.
James was preceded in death by his wife, Marjorie (nee Stanfield) Lowther earlier this year and siblings John Lowther and Dorothy Clark.
A graveside service was held Tuesday, July 10 at Greenwood Cemetery, Wellington. Arrangements were entrusted to Norton-Eastman Funeral Home, Wellington. Donations in James memory may be directed to the Herrick Memorial Library, 101 Willard Memorial Sq., Wellington, OH 44090.
