Rochelle “Shellie” Lowe, aged 84, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2026, surrounded by her three cherished children: David, Stephanie, and Jennifer. Shellie’s life was one of love, commitment, and unwavering devotion to her family and community.
Born on November 13, 1941, in Cudahy, WI, Shellie was the daughter of Aaron Schneider and Bertha Wagon. She attended Washington High School, where she met her beloved husband, Bruce Edward Lowe. After high school, Shellie pursued higher education at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, earning her bachelor’s degree before marrying Bruce. As a devoted partner, she supported him throughout law school, during which they welcomed their first child, David Scott Lowe.
Following Bruce's graduation, the family moved to Milwaukee, where Shellie gave birth to two daughters, Stephanie and Jennifer. Throughout her life, she successfully balanced a thriving career as a real estate agent and made significant contributions to title administration within the banking industry. Shellie took immense pride in her professional journey and her role as a mother, always putting her family first.

She fostered strong family bonds and enjoyed dancing, golfing, caring for her dogs, and cultivating her passion for makeup and jewelry. An enthusiastic cheerleader, she encouraged her family in all their pursuits and was always there to advocate for them.
In addition to her family commitments, Shellie was heavily involved in her community. She served as a volunteer with the Children’s Home Society in Tallahassee, FL, positively impacting many lives and leaving a lasting legacy of kindness.
