Flora Marie Lowther

Flora Marie Lowther, age 83, passed away Sunday, August 6, 2017 in Gulfport, MS. She was born August 15, 1933 in Trindad, Colorado to Louis and Grace Gallegos. She was a member of the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, or Carmelites, and also a member of St. James Parish. She worked as a Head Start teacher locally in Gulfport. She serviced in the Navy in the medical capacity. Marie was a person who always had a positive outlook on life, as she always saw the glass as being half full instead of half empty. As a Head Start teacher, she tried her best to encourage her pupils to be the best they could be, especially those with low self-esteem. Marie loved cooking and especially making the authentic Hispanic dishes handed down from her mother. The dishes were a favorite of her sons and their childhood friends growing up in College Park in Gulfport, MS. Specialty dishes were always a mainstay of the holiday seasons and savored by all who would be sure to stop in for food, drinks, and laughs. She was a gracious host. She was an outstanding seamstress and crafter of beautiful floral arrangements. She is preceded in death by her husband, William R. Lowther, and her brothers, Adolph Gallegos, Salvador Gallegos, Victor Gallegos, and Frank Gallegos. Survivors include her children, Sharon (Robert) Watson, of Pass Christian, MS, Michael (Anna) Lowther, of Tulsa, OK, Daniel Lowther, of Denver, CO, and Brandan Lowther, of Gulfport, MS; her grandchildren, Jeremy Lowther, Sean Michael Lowther, and Zachary Lowther, of Tulsa, OK; and her sister, Lydia Wright, of Gulfport, MS. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Saint Vincent de Paul at Saint James Church. Private services will be held at a later date. The Pass Road Chapel of Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
