Ruth Marie Lowman

Ruth Marie Lowman, 90, of Rustburg, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
Born on January 21, 1936, in Iselin, PA, she was the daughter of the late William Clark Pearson and Clara Askey Pearson. She was also preceded in death by her two sons, Brian P. Lowman and Richard A. Lowman; one grandson, Kyle Lowman; and four siblings, Ella M. Boyer, Earl Pearson, Bill Pearson, and Elizabeth Pearson.

Ruth was a longtime member of Thomas Road Baptist Church, where she enjoyed working in the nursery. Her faith was an important part of her life. She loved her family dearly and found great joy in spending time with them. Ruth was a wonderful mother and spent many years caring for her youngest son, Richard, a role she embraced with love and devotion. She and Richard shared a special love of Snoopy and Charlie Brown, and her home was filled with Snoopy and Charlie Brown items. Ruth also enjoyed collecting dolls and was an old-school NASCAR fan who also enjoyed watching hockey.

Ruth will be remembered by her family for the love and care she gave to those around her. Her great-granddaughter, Sumer, was a special caregiver to Ruth in her later years.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 72 years, Raymond Paul Lowman, two loving children, Kevin M. Lowman (Susan) and Sharon M. Mixon (Jessie); six grandchildren, Jennifer Persinger (James), Sean Mixon (Melissa), Jeremy Mixon (Jennifer), Melissa Tripp (Brian), Christopher Lowman (Danielle), and Michael Lowman (Jamie); eleven great-grandchildren, Brittani Kesler, Brooke Dolan, Jakob Dolan, Sumer Allen (Cedric), Amber Burleigh (Matt), Parker Mixon, Zander Tripp, Jasper Tripp, Kailey Lowman, Ryker Lowman, and Wyatt Lowman; five great great grandchildren and three special nieces, Ida, Doris, and Chris.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Centra Hospice nurses Cara and Rebecca for the excellent and compassionate care they provided to Ruth.

The family has requested that services remain private.
