Marie Lechow passed away Thursday July 9, 2020 with her beloved son and daughter in-law by her side. She was born July 12, 1943 in Austin, Texas to Gordon Fowler and Anita Krueger Fowler. On March 2, 1969 she married Gus Emmett Lechow and together they raised three boys, Lance, Larry, and Coy.
Marie was fiercely determined, but equally kind of spirit. Her generosity was boundless. Taught by her Grandmother on a treadle sewing machine, Marie became an artist with a needle and thread by the time she was in Jr. High School. In later years she created everything from formal wear to Halloween costumes for those she loved. She recognized that creating memories was more important that an actual event and she gracefully fashioned occasions that made for beautiful lasting memories for all her family. She demonstrated her love as a true Proverbs 31 woman, literally rising before dawn to sew or cook.
Her greatest joys in life were her granddaughters Kacey and Kalyn. Cooking and sewing camps at Meme’s were always a summer highlight for them, as well as sleepovers with no rules, holiday cookie baking and decorating, and picking berries at Sweet Berry Farms.
Marie is survived by her beloved son Coy and his wife Lisa and their daughters Kacey Dawn and Kalyn Marie, her brother Buddy Fowler and wife Karen, sister Jaynell Glass and husband Carroll as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews who will forever remember their ‘Tantarie’.
Visitation will be Saturday July 11 from 5:00-7:00 pm at Clements Wilcox Funeral Home in Marble Falls and Services will be held Sunday July 12 at 2:00 pm at Fellowship Baptist Church in Marble Falls
