Katherine Shaw Lowry, age 95, wife of the late Guy Hollis Lowry, passed away on March 21, 2018. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 12, 1923 to Robert Lee Shaw and Edna Johnson Shaw. She was a graduate of Commercial High School in Atlanta. After many years of service with the federal government, she retired from DCASR Atlanta in 1983. Katherine had a lifelong love of music and singing. Early on she sang with her sisters as a trio, then with the Harmonizers trio on local radio station WBGE. From 1949 to 1952 and later in the early 60’s she was a member of the Atlanta Choral Guild. Throughout her life, she sang with her church choir and until age 93 was an active member of the Dunwoody Baptist Church Choir. Katherine was a true “people person” who enjoyed talking to everyone. The things she loved most were doing things with her family, her Sunday school class, church choir, travel, her yard, and eating out. In her younger days, she was a wonderful cook and her chocolate fudge icing was legendary. Her sweet disposition did not diminish even as her body grew tired. In addition to her husband and parents, Katherine was predeceased by her sisters, Ethel Millsap and Mona Schmeck. She is survived by two sons, Robert Lowry (Sydney) and Tom Lowry (April); four grandchildren, Susan Dowdy (Rod), Beth Lowry, Rebekah Epting (JT) and Philip Lowry; and three great grandchildren, Addie Morrison, Jack Dowdy and Reece Dowdy. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and extended family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Dunwoody Baptist Church, 1445 Mount Vernon Rd, Dunwoody, GA 30338. The family would like to express their gratitude for the care provided to Katherine by the very capable and compassionate CNAs and staff at Brookdale North Augusta. They met her needs with much kindness on a daily basis for the past seventeen months. The family also wishes to thank Regency Hospice who provided additional care for the last several months. A funeral service followed by a reception will begin at 11 o’clock on Monday, March 26, 2018 at H.M. Patterson and Son, Arlington Chapel, 173 Allen Rd., NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328. Interment will follow at Arlington Memorial Park.
