Mrs. Doris Ree Lowe was born May 22,1944 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina to the late Ora Jones Barnes and the late James Haywood Barnes. After a long illness, she found eternal rest on February 9, 2023, at home surrounded by family.

Doris graduated George Washington Carver High school in Pinetop in May of 1962. She worked for J. P. Stevens, later known as Steve Co Knit, for several years until she took an early retirement. After retirement, she became a stay-at-home mom taking care of her husband, three children, three grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.

She was a loving, generous person to all. If you ever needed anything, she would be more than willing to give a helping hand. She dedicated her life to her family and the church. She was known by all for her delicious soul food, such as her sweet potato pies, potato salad, and tater jacks. She loved crossword puzzles and was an awesome seamstress. She will be greatly missed and loved by all, but as she would tell everyone, “do the best you can do”.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings: James, Robert, Eddie, Charles, Ruth, Emma, Ora (Robert), Mary; her brother-in-law: Reverend James Moore; and her son-in-law: James Haywood Cheek, Jr.

To cherish her memory, she leaves her husband: Lawrence E. Lowe of fifty-three years; her three children; Anne M. Lowe, Lawrence E. Lowe, Jr, and Sheryl E. Cheek all of Greensboro, North Carolina; her grandchildren: Crystal Lowe, Jasmine Cheek, and Jada Cheek; great grandchildren: Kristen Anderson, Kahlil Anderson, Anayah Broadnax-Lowe, and Brooklyn Broadnax-Lowe; one sister: Miller Moore; brother-in-law: Robert Whitehead; and a host of other family and friends.
