NEW ELLENTON, S.C. - Graveside services for Mrs. Betty Hoyle Lowery, 86, who entered into rest April 29, 2018, will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, Grover, NC. Reverend Chris Devine officiating.

Mrs. Lowery was born November 23, 1931, in Shelby, North Carolina to the late Henry W. Grady and Ora Valiree Costner Hoyle and with her passing away, she was reunited with the love of her life whom she was married to for 60 years, the late Jack C. Lowery. A 1950 graduate of Fallston High School, she worked for Hudson Hosiery before meeting Jack as he said in "Her Green Polka Dot Dress." Jack always commented "She was the Prettiest Girl he had ever seen." They were married on December 24, 1955 and moved to New Ellenton, SC, to follow Jack's work at the Savannah River Site.

In May 1958, they welcomed their only child, Deborah, known as Debbie to her parents. Betty was a Homemaker and enjoyed sewing and cooking for her family. She was employed at Therm-O- Disc for several years to assist in sending her daughter to college. Betty was glad to leave her job to care for her grandson, James Steven and later her granddaughter, Valerie Joanne. Along with her brother, she was a loving caregiver for her ailing father. Betty and Jack were faithful members of Foreman Memorial Baptist Church for 60 years and she loved her Sunday School Class, The Golden Circle.

Survivors include her daughter and son-in-law, Deborah (Debbie) and Joe Eubanks, New Ellenton, SC; a grandson, James Steven (Amanda) Eubanks, Douglasville, GA; a granddaughter, Valerie (Matt) Ryman, Commerce, GA; her precious great-granddaughter, Reagan Adeline Eubanks; a brother, Billy W. (Juanita) Hoyle, Shelby, NC; two nieces, Phyllis (Johnny) Haynes and Dr. Gayla (Dr. Buddy Freeman) Lowery; four nephews, Mickey (Kay) Hoyle, Dean (Ann) Hoyle, Dale Hoyle and Dr. Richard (Meda) Dixon.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home Friday evening from 5 until 7.
