The obituary said Bev was a psychology professor at Liberty University That's only part right though because Bev was actually the BEST psychology professor at Liberty University! in fact one of the best things about Liberty all together! She was one of my favorite instructors at Liberty in the short time I could stand going there! I have no reason to go back and visit now if she's not there anymore! She was one of the most Godly instructors I had while attending there! Keep her son Mark in your prayers though, because anyone who knew Bev, knows she never stop talking about her son, in a good way, like Mark never stops talking about his dear Mom, in whatever way!

To a wonderful friend, I will miss dearly. She was my friend when I felt I had none. I will never forget you sweet lady.

I am a true testimony to Mrs. Lowry's faith in Jesus. I was led to Jesus by her at LU while visiting the campus one weekend on October 30, 1989. Beverly led me to the Lord in her office that day and my life has been forever changed. I was then able to attend LU as a student from 1990-1992 and I was blessed to have Mrs. Lowry as one of my Psychology professors. She was an awesome woman of God. She was loving, caring, talented, and a true light for Jesus. Thank you Beverly for loving me enough to share the Salvation story with me. I can't wait to see you in Heaven some day. May you rest in peace my dear friend and sister in Christ. May God comfort and heal the entire Lowry family and help preserve the special memories of a wonderful woman of God. Thanks again for all that you did for everyone during your life!

I will always remember Bev, she was kind and loving, and cared about people no matter their short comings and at times sin. I never met Bev F2F but we shared letters and some phone calls. The way of communication really didn't matter, she share God and His love to someone that was undeserving of His or even her's. She even told me once that her son would find God's forgiveness for me in time. Bev I loved you as I did my own mother, walk them golden streets, God Bless you can't wait to see you in heaven.

I play Mrs. Lowry's CD over and over.  I especially love the song "Yesterday".  It has helped me through many a crisis knowing that God is the same yesterday and today and forever.  Her voice was angelic.  I thank the Lord for her beautiful voice which has been such an inspiration to me.  She was such a beautiful lady!
Thank God for Mark.  My sympathy goes out to you and yours.

Mark Our Prayers are with You and Your family during this time. My Wife and I have been there and so We can truly say We understand." She is absent from the body but present with the Lord."  We Love to hear Mama Sing "Promises", and You telling her in the background sing Mama! Now she has received her Heavenly Promise!

Bev Lowry was such a kind, gracious lady, a precious Christian artist, and wonderful wife, mom, and grandma.  She was very supportive of my music career years ago, a highlight was her appearance on my TV show "Master's Music", Greensboro, NC.  I send my heartfelt condolences to Charles, Mike, Mark, and Melissa, and all the family and friends who will always love her.

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We fell in love with her through your stories. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.What a celebration there must be in heaven! God bless.

What a beautiful and gracious woman of God Beverly was. She touched me most when she radiated the love of God on the piano. I was blessed to have known her .

I'll never forget the day she played "There's a Lighthouse on the Hilltop" for Mark the night he got saved. What a transformation!  Both her sons lives eternally changed on the same night at Beulah Land in Nacogdoches, Texas.  What a privilege to have witnessed this and her gracious impact on so many people. God continue to hold you all in the palm of His hand as He uses you to be a light in this stormy world.

Mark and family, I am so sorry for your loss, but, as you said, she is HOME. She was a wonderful singer and song writer. I enjoyed hearing her sing  on the church services at Liberty. God be with you all as you adjust to your life with her in Heaven. Sincerely, Judy

Hello Mark and Charles,
I am one of the 40 Romanian students, who were admitted at LU in the 90s, and had your mom for Psychology. She was one of my highlights during the LU 90-95 years, always with a smile, always ready to empower somebody and give meaningful advice. One of her tidbits was in regard to the right answer at quizes, and told us (the students) to not bother learning about the false statements, but know what is truthful, and by comparison we'll pick up the false. Same is true with our walk with God, as I've discovered in the past and seems to resonate always, learn what GOD stands for, everything else is just "stuff". 
I feel so blessed to have been touched by your mother, a truly genuine person, and know that everybody her and your dad were ever around felt their powerful love and care for each other. What a wonderful example to follow!!!
Be blessed, filled with the Peace that passes all understanding, feel God's love during your time of mourning, and know that your family is very special for the music and wisdom spread around.

With His love, Paula Dimitriu Lair

Dear Lowry family.  I got to know Bev Lowry through the vidieo's Mark posted of her before she got sick, while she was in the hospital and then the nursing home.  No matter where she was, as Mark said, "She still know's his name".  I heard her sing and I could see the love she had for Christ. What a wonderful woman!  You are all in my prayer's.  Even I will miss her.  But like the rest of you, I will see her again someday in heaven. For me it will be our first meeting. What a meeting in the air.  God bless you Mark and the rest of your family.

Mark you had a wonderful Mother and that is such a blessing.  I always loved it when you would go to her in a concert and sing with her.  Touched my heart.  Can't wait till we all get to meet on the other side.  That is going to be wonderful!! Love and Prayers, Betty F. Martin - Shelby NC

Our condolences to the family.  God bless you all!... Steven and Shelley Kennicutt.

Dear Charles, I will be praying for the family during these tough days. I can see from the album that with the generation spill over, their are many family members who will be able to carry on the Godly example of their Matriarch Bev. Bev who is now with her maker, while happy and proudly watching over her flock on earth, is able to add her voice to the grand choir above. May the 'Lowry Echo' reverberate to all her loved ones until you all meet again..Bill and Elizabeth Adamson, Perth, Western Australia.,

Dear Lowry family, 
My sister, Angela Davis sent me the video celebrating your precious mother's life. Such wonderful memories of singing with her at Greenwood Village flooded my heart. We had some wonderful and blessed times. We lost our Mom and Dad last year and no matter how long you have them in your life, it is difficult to let go. We know they are happy in the presence of Jesus but we miss them. May God give you strength and the memories give you comfort.

Praying that you will find comfort in the arms of Jesus during this difficult time.  How glorious to know that Bev is singing in the heavenly choir, praising her Lord and Savior.

Precious Mark. Just wanted to tell you that my Sunday School class will have a special pprayer for you and your entire family. Yout know that mama is now singing with the.angels at Jesus feet. Eek love you mark and appreciate how you took suck good care of your mama. Love you mark.

Dear Mark, Charles,Mike,Missy and family, praying for you as you travel this difficult road off loss.  Bev is raising her beautiful voice in praise once more and singing with the angels.  God bless the Lowry family.

Praying for you all as you walk this part of your journey.  God has truly blessed you with an amazing example of His grace and provision and most importantly His love in the life of your wife and mother.  Praying you will carry on her legacy with joy and expectation of the great reunion you will all have one day.  God bless you all,

Dear Mark and Family, 
My husband and I are big fans of yours; therefore of your whole family. God bless all of you. I am praying for peace of all of you!

I love you all, I'm so sorry for your loss...Bev is singing with her lord now...she will be missed.

SO VERY SORRY MARK "MAMA IS FREE AT LAST" MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF LOSS

My husband and I were just watching Bev and Mark singing together on Mark Lowry on Broadway; it was so precious. Father, please bless the Lowry family with Your peace and comfort as they face this first Christmas season without this beautiful, loving and talented wife, mother and friend. Dear ones, our love to you in Christ.

Thank you family for all the stories of Aunt Beverly and the legacy of fun and music that has been brought to my family.  Think of how much wonderful music she is hearing now!   Jennifer Lowry

We are so sorry to hear about your lose and will be praying for your family.

It was our privilege to know and minister to Beth during the time she was at Bedford County Nursing home. It was a special joy to hear her sing with Joe Parker. When Joe would begin the song Beth's face would light up and you would hear her rich voice sing as much as her illness would allow. She was attentive during worship adding an "Amen" when the message spoke to her. 

Joe and I send our love and best wishes to the family during this sad time. And to Sister Beth: "Well done good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of thy Lord"
Joe Parker (540-586-2019) and Rev. Geoff Hubbard (540-793-1116)

Lowry Family, 
We are so sorry about your mommy's passing.  Will be praying for you!
Love and Prayers,
Diana Crain

She is spending each breath she has with the very one who gave her breath. What a blessing her life was here and it will continue to touch hearts through her gift of music. Prayers are with you all. Have followed her stories and seen the youtube moments you posted mark where you were spending time with her in the hospital. You and your mom have a very special relationship so close it's just beautiful we all can feel it. <3 hugs, love and prayers to all of you!

Our prayers are with the Lowry family. My husband graduated from Liberty in 1989. Mrs. Bev. was a blessing to me through her singing, and speaking at ladies meetings at Thomas Road Baptist Church during our years in Lynchburg. We later had the privilege of fellowshiping at the same table with Mr. Charles and Mrs. Bev. during one of the alumni banquets. Such sweet Christian people. May the Lord comfort and give you grace during this time.

Singing her heart out on Zion's Hill...those gates of pearl opened wide. It is that glad tomorrow and all the bells of heaven are ringing in your new home, sweet home. Rest in peace, Bev Praying for God's comfort and strength for the family.

Never had the privilege of meeting this beautiful lady, but feel as though I knew her after listening to quite a few of Mark's tales about his Mama.  Our prayers are with the family and all the folks that she touched!  Brian & Wanda Hoffman (Kernersville, NC)

Precious Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you each day in the upcoming months. Beverly was a wonderful, creative woman who loved The Lord. She touched many young lives as a teacher and professor. She will be singing God's praises with the angels. We all loved her. Linda and Louis KLeeman

We know that Bev is singing her praise to the Lord face to face now, what a glorious picture that is.  Charles, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord be your comfort and strength. God's blessings to you!  Love in Christ, Judy Bowman and family, WHEEL POWER Christian Cyclists, Lynchburg

My thoughts and prayers are with the Lowry family. I attended Liberty University from 1989-1992 and was a student of hers. I was able to get to know her and her family a little while I was away from mine in Minnesota. I also was able to attend the Handel's Young Messiah with a friend of mine with Bev and Charles in Charlotte North Carolina. She will definitely be missed.

Donnie and Nancy Trest, Houston Tx. Prayers for you all !

My thoughts and prayers are with the Lowry family at this time, May God comfort you and wrap his arms around you!

We are praying for your family.  Please let us know if you need anything.

Our hearts are heavy with your loss and the Lowry family is in our thoughts and prayers.  May the love of God surround you and give you the peace and comfort that only He can give.

Hi Charles & family

Our sympathies go out to all of you at what is a sad moment for all who knew her. I don't know how I missed that she was a "Davis." Of course, that explains her considerable talent (lol). It always drew a smile when I would mention that her singing reminded me of Patti Page. Lynn and I love you all and treasure our relationship through the years. God bless you. Duron Davis

To The Lowry Family:

Lori and I are so sorry to hear of Bev's passing.  God sure is calling a lot of His servants Home as of late.

I will never forget the first time I met Bev.  She sang Happy Birthday to me on my 30th birthday and her singing was beautiful.  We got to know her while we were working at Liberty and were so thankful that she would pour years of wisdom into two newlyweds.  Jesus and steadfast devotion to marriage and family were most plainly evident in her.  In an age of compromise she, as Dr. Falwell would say, "Never, ever quit" in her love and service to the Lord.  We will miss this wonderful woman and look forward to hearing her someday with the chorus of angels in Heaven.

We are praying for your family during this time and always.  Well done, Bev!  You are Home.

Always said she was so much like my mama....  My prayers are with the whole Lowry family


Debbie Craven. Des Moines, Ia

So sorry to hear the news, but I know we will meet her again.  I always enjoyed talking with Mrs. Lowry, her singing, and her wit.  Our condolences go out to Charles and family, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Brent & Cathy Butts

I will continue praying for you and your family as I know it's not easy losing a loved one.

Mary and I are saddened to hear of Beverly's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with her entire family. Earl Guthrow MD

To the entire Lowry family:  I mainly know of your family because of Mark's music.  I have seen Mrs. Lowry sing with Mark on music specials.  She was so lovely..such a warm person.  Mark, I'm thinking of you and your family at this time.  May God wrap his loving arms around all you.

Larry Brinkley, Prayers for all the family ! Beverly will truly be missed.

Jerry and Wendy Trest Whitman --- Robert and Dustin Cherry       Auntie we love you, we will see you all in Heaven. You where the best !!

What a beautiful Obit. Mark you were so blessed with a wonderful mother. She seems so wonderful and I wish I could have met her. You and your family are in my prayers. Lots of love and prayers.

Dear Lowry Family.....my thoughts and prayers are with each of you.  Mrs. Lowry was a remarkable lady.  Her joy at arriving Home will hopefully comfort your hearts as you mourn losing her.

Your sweet Momma is singing with the Angels now. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Lowry Family.  I'm so very sorry for your loss, but so happy she is with the Lord.  I'll be praying for your family.

What a blessing to have been a small part of her life for a period of time. I have such fond memories of time spent at your home and times of fellowship over a meal. She was a special lady, and so in love with her Lord and Savior, and with you, Charles. She was your biggest supporter, especially during difficult times. She will be missed. Praying for you, Mike, Mark and Melissa.

The best thing to remember now,  this is just a transition time for her, moving from this home on earth to her heavenly home.  There she is without pain, and she is with her heavenly Father.  Though I know her family is grieving the loss of wife, mother, grandmother, it is only a matter of time until you see her again, in a much better place than our beautiful world. God bless you and give you peace. Elizabeth Persons

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lowry family. Mrs. Lowry was a wonderful Godly woman who was one of my most loved professors and was my mentor/advisor during my time at Liberty. She inspired me to continue in my quest to become a therapist. Loved her dearly and I know she having a blast with her Jesus!

Prayers go out to the Lowry Family at this time. May Gods' Peace and love comfort you all.

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Davis for raising such a wonderful, loving family and being a great witness to our Lord and Savior's love for us. Thank you Lowry family for sharing Mark with us over many years.............he is an inspiration and we know mama will be greatly missed until we all sing in the Heavenly Choir!

Dear Lowry family, I loved Mrs. Lowry so much! I am sad but also very thankful that I got to know this wonderful woman. She was and will always be a gem. I'm happy she is with Jesus now, but I know i will miss her. I am praying for each of you as you all deal with this sad loss of such a wonderful wife, mom, and just all around sweet and caring woman. Love to each of you and hugs and prayers on the way.

My prayers are with your family at this time of mourning, and rejoicing for another blessed soul joining our sweet Lord and Savior in Heaven.  I'm reminded of the song "Mama's Teaching Angels How To Sing." I believe Miss Bev is teaching the Angels.her songs to.sing.to.our God.  God grant you peace...

Charles, Mike, Mark and Missy. Friendship over the years, keeping up with the family thru Mark, we share your heartache over this tremendous loss and know that we will all be together in glory.  All of our love, Bob and Sarah Knox

Was so glad to meet you Mark.Your Mom was a lovely woman and I know you loved her very much.Heaven has another angel today.God bless you and your family. Love you.

Bev Lowery was the guest speaker at my church several years ago. She talked about going through the toughest trial of her life and how Jesus was her comfort. She loved her family very much, especially her husband. May the God who comforted her in her darkest time comfort you, her family now. Thank you for sharing her with us. I am so thankful for your Thanksgiving with her and the precious pictures you shared. May God comfort you in the coming days and months.  ~Marilyn Coley, Rock Hill, SC

Missy, my heart breaks for you, but rejoices for your Mother.  Heaven's choir got a whole lot stronger.  I will pray for you and your family.  I know you will find comfort in our Lord's loving arms.

So sorry Lowry family. Know she is in a better place with Vestal/Howard Goodman & any other artists I didn't mention. GOD will get y'all through this. Just trust in HIM.

I never had the chance to meet you sweet mother, but I knew about her from Mark's DVD and CD. Please know that you are all in our prayers.

To Mark and the Lowry family, our hearts and our prayers go out to all of you. Having lost our mom's, we know what a difficult time this is.  But we also know that this is a time to take comfort in you will see her again.  Mark, as we sat in the third row Saturday night to watch the Gaither Spectacular in Indianapolis, and listen to your wonderful song Mary Did You Know, did anyone have a clue you would be facing such sorrow in a few days.  We are praying for you and your family.  God Bless

So sorry for your loss, but rejoicing in where Mrs. Lowry now is....she is singing directly to her Savior.  My prayers are with all of you.  
  A sister choir member,
  WendyJoy

I am so sorry for your loss!! What an awesome thought to know that you will see her again and that she is celebrating Christmas with her Lord and Saviour. What a legacy she leaves behind!!! May you feel the Lord's arms wrapped around you and the comfort that only He can give. Thank you Mark for continuing that legacy and for letting the Lord use you to bless us with your music. I grew up in Lynchburg, I wish I would have had the honor of meeting your mother.

Mark, my thoughts & heart felt sympathy go out to you & your family.  Your mother was such a wonderful spirit.  I loved her songs "I Thirst" and "Promises"...I've done them both at church & folks loved them...I'm sure it was more the message than my rendition of them.  My favorite story is the one you tell of your mom playing the piano & spotting you up in the balcony of the church ...coming from an Independent Baptist Church I know how those moms can be about things you do at church.  God give you comfort in the days to come and live with until you see her again in glorious Heaven with our blessed Savior!

Mark Lowery: Because of who she was, you are who you are. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I was so sad to hear Ms. Lowery passed away, EARTH'S LOSS IS TRULY HEAVEN;S GAIN, Praying for her family, Rejoicing for her....

Mr. Lowry, My prayers go out to your and your family.  I am blessed to have gotten to have known you and Mrs. Lowry when I worked at Staples.  I know that she is rejoicing in the heavenly choir.  I pray that God grants you all with peace and comfort until you meet again.  God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  So glad I knew this great lady.  May God wrap his loving arms around you all......and give you PEACE like a River!  She is singing with the angels.....I can hear it now.
Love and Blessings
BUBBA MCNEELY

To the Lowry Family. 

You had one of the most amazing and Godly women I have ever met. She was a big influence on my life while being a student at Liberty University. She taught me Child Psychology. I took initiative to find her as I was raised on and had a real love for southern gospel. Mark you are an inspiration to me and I count It a privilege to have been able to have met you and speak with you on occasion at concerts and when you visited Lynchburg. My sincere condolences to the family and glad to have another cheerleader in heaven looking down.

I am so sorry for your loss, Mark.  May God comfort you during this sorrowful time.  I will keep your family in my prayers.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss, I'm praying for your family. I love the sound of your momma singing, I will never forget when I first saw her on oak tree studio singing promises with Mark. My prayers are with your whole family, God Bless you all! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMESF4lNhBc

Mark, I was watching you and the GVB sing on my computer last night, when I checked Facebook on my phone and saw the news of your mother's passing. It shook me up a little bit because of the timing. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm not sure that I can say anything comforting to you that others have not already said. All I know to tell you is what goes through my mind when I lose someone I love. Heaven just got a little sweeter, and now more than ever, I want to make sure that is where I go. God bless you and your family, my brother.

My prayers are with Mark,  Mike and family  May Jesus wrap his arms around you and comfort you.

Dear Charles, Mike, Mark, and Melissa, I have admired Beverly for many years.  Since I was eight years old, when she married Charles, she was a big sister to me, instead of a sister-in-law.  I know that she has been a blessing to so many people.  May God's love and comfort be especially close to all of you, as you continue to share her love of Jesus to all you meet.  God Bless all of you and your family.  Love and Prayers, Elaine (Lowry) McMullen

Word can not express how sad I am for your family. May God wrap his loving arms around you at this time

Many prayers for the Lord to comfort you and all of the family at this time.  Rejoice for she is singing in the Heavenly Choir now!  God Bless all of you!!!!

It is now time to reflect on the treasure that becomes ours when we receive the gift of God, the treasure of life and truth, and know for a certainty it is beyond price.
She was a sweetheart and a treasure, loved her beautiful smile and spirit.

Many prayers for God's comforting embrace during this time of loss. May you all rejoice in her homecoming and now singing in God's Heavenly choir!1 God bless you all!! Patti Jeske, Pueblo, CO

So sorry to hear the news, but we know she is done with troubles and trials of life. Her beauty was in how she loved, shared, and sang praises to her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  We were blessed by her at SuperConference several years ago.  May the Lord be gracious unto you during this time and the days to come.  We know we shall see her again, we grieve, but not as those without hope, "Because He lives, we too shall live."
Brother Bill & Phyllis Thorn
Knotts Island, NC

We love you and are praying for you and the family.

Mark and Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom passing away.  I enjoyed so much hearing her sing.  She had a beautiful voice.  I know what you are going through, I lost my sweet Mom in 2001.  I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.  May God comfort you and your family at this time. 
Love,
Patricia Mulholland

So sorry for your loss. Enjoyed  your mom singing with you ( Mark)  on Gaither . Know now he is where she sang about .

Bev was such a wonderful sweet happy woman who I have adored for years. She was my favorite professor at Liberty and I had her for many of my psych classes. She left a lasting impression on me that I will never forget.I will always remember her contagious smile and love for the Lord.My prayers are with you all as you mourn the loss of your sweet mama!

I wrote this on another comment but wanted to share it here with you:  Mark, condolences on the loss of your mom. I have no doubt that your momma went running into the embrace of her Lord and Savior - no casual slow walking for her - running to meet Him! I know you miss her but just think how happy she is!  Praise God - so thankful that we will have another chance to all be together again.

Some people walk thru our lives and some people walk thru our lives and we never forget. Thank you for your love of LU and for me and for your husband can children. Thank  you for being a part of my life. Love to all the family.

Dear God,I Ask That You Comfort This Family In Their Time Of Need, For You Alone Are The God Of All Comfort Please Be With The Lowry Family And Help Them Through This Time..In Your Name I Pray Amen, Dear Lowry Family, I'm So Sorry About Your Loss, But Remember Heaven Gained A Very Beautiful Angel, She's Not Suffering Anymore...Love And Prayers..Kirby Bussard

Bev was a supreme example of a godly woman to her family, friends, fans, and students. I was blessed to know her and to call her my friend and mentor. We ate way too much Mexican together :) but we could never talk too much about The Lord. I love and miss you Bev, but am so grateful to know that you are worshipping at the feet of Jesus. I pray that Holy Spirit will comfort all those who knew and loved her especially her beloved Charles and family. May The Lord raise up 1000 women to carry her mantle of faith and love for Jesus.

My prayers go out to Bev's family. She will be missed by all. Yet I know that you all will find comfort in knowing that she will be with Jesus this Christmas and singing praise to God. We will all meet again one day soon and there will be yet another celebration. May God BLESS this precious family.
