Doris Marie Lowe

Doris Marie Lowe passed away Monday, May 13, 2024, at the Morrison House in Zanesville, Ohio. She was born in Coshocton June 3, 1930, to the late James and Ruth Deshong. She was a graduate of Roscoe High School and Muskingum College.

On Feb. 9, 1951 she married the love of her life Merton Lowe and they enjoyed 53 years building a life and family together.

She worked at the Hopewell School in Coshocton before moving into the Ridgewood School system where she finished her career. She always felt it was a privilege and a blessing to be a teacher and especially enjoyed chance meetings with former students who remembered her. After retiring, she tutored for a few years at West Lafayette Elementary and Middle Schools.

She was a voracious reader and enjoyed her flowers, spending time with family and friends, watching the Cleveland Cavaliers, and helping out and attending the Roscoe Methodist Church where she was a lifetime member. She was also a member of the Roscoe United Women Of Faith and the Coshocton County Retired Teachers Association.

She is survived by her sons, Mark Lowe and Michael (Laura) Lowe; her grandchildren Amber Cichon, Eric (Paula) Lowe, Ryan (Ally), Lowe, and Kayla Lowe; her great grandchildren Adrienne Lowe, Anthony Cichon, Morgan Lowe and baby boy, Nolan Trace Lowe on the way; two special “Irish” cousins, Judy Milligan and Jean Guccini; a close niece Bev McConnell, and special church friend Irene Stubbs.

Along with her parents she was preceded in death by her husband Merton Lowe; sister Janice Murphy; brother Donald Deshong; and special cousin Barb Seward.

Per Doris’s request, there will be no calling hours. A graveside service will be held on Friday, May 17, 2024, at 1:00 pm at Fairfield Cemetery with Pastor Bob Mitchell officiating. Given-Dawson-Paisley Funeral Home is serving the family.
