Lowell Reid Elder

On Tuesday November 15th, 2011, a band of Angels escorted Lowell Reid Elder to Heaven to be with the Lord after a long illness. Lowell was born on August 26, 1930. “Reid” as he was known by family and friends was 81 years old. He was born and raised on a farm in Glendale OK in Southeast OK.

At an early age, he traveled to Oklahoma City and became a truck driver for over 35 years. He met and married his soul mate and the love of his life, Jewell Faye Dehart, on March 28th, 1954. Reid and Jewell raised 2 daughters and 2 sons. Reid is survived by his wife of 57 years, Jewell (of the home). Brenda Goldburg of Midwest City, OK, Sharon Bayliss of Warner, OK, Lowell Ray Elder of Midwest City, OK, and Ronnie Reid Elder, of Oklahoma City. 5 grandchildren, and several great grandchildren, 2 brothers and 1 sister and many other relatives and friends.

Reid enjoyed truck driving because he loved the open road. Reid also loved knife making, hunting and fishing, and he especially loved playing music and singing with his wife Jewell. He was a very talented musician and was a gifted lead guitarist, and wrote many songs. He and Jewell ministered in song at many churches, blue grass festivals, country & western shows, and many other functions all over Oklahoma. He was a wonderful Christian, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, brother and friend. He and Jewell were members of Cross Roads Cathedral for many years. Now he is singing and playing praises in the presence of the Lord. Reid is greatly loved and will be missed by all who knew him, but we will see him again in Heaven. Reid, we will all love you forever.
