Joseph Alexander Lowry

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Jennie Lowry (Markevich), daughter Roberta (Steve) of Winnipeg, Manitoba; son Don (Norine) of Edmonton, Alberta; granddaughter Jennifer (Mark) of Edmonton, Alberta; granddaughter Kathryn of Calgary, Alberta; great grandchildren, Max and Hallie of Edmonton, Alberta. Joe is also survived by his brother-in-law John Helmer of Coquitlam B.C. as well as many nephews and nieces from the Darlingford Manitoba area.

Joe was predeceased by his parents Adeline and Alex Lowry, stepfather Bill Campbell; sisters Mary (Jim Wood), Bea (Haref Rassmussen), Madeleine (Russ Waddingham) and Ruth (John Helmer).

Following his railway career as Chief Superintendent of the Burlington Northern Railway, Dad lived a full and rich life, travelling the world with Mom and enjoying time spent with his grandchildren Jennifer and Kathryn Lowry and great grandchildren Max and Hallie.

Looking back on his career and life’s adventures, Dad had no regrets, kept a smile on his face and retained the sparkle in his eye and good sense of humor to the very end.

In consideration that Dad hosted his “going away party” in the fall of last year, there will be no formal funeral held, rather there will be a family graveside service in the spring at Darlingford, Manitoba.
