She was the second oldest daughter among 14 children, raised in the close-knit Goodwill Community of Madison,NC, affectionately known as K-Fork.

In her early years, Mother Lowe was educated in the segregated schools of Rockingham County, where she developed her lifelong skills and strong work ethic. From a young age,she learned to cook for her siblings while they farmed, a testament to her nurturing spirit. She later worked in various textile mills aroung Rockingham County before finding her true calling as an in-person sitter and companion, a role she embraced with pride and dedication.

Mother Lowe's greatest joy and fulfillment came from being a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

As the esteemed Mother of New Light Refuge Temple WOTCC, she touched countless lives with her wisdom and grace.

An exceptional cook, she delighted in canning and freezing foods, generously sharing her culinary creations with the community. Known for her impeccable style, she was celebrated for her unique and elegant hats.

Mother Lowe accepted the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at a young age and instilled the joy of the Lord in her family. Her favorite hymn, “While the Blood”, resonated deeply, moving the hearts of all who heard her sing. She embodied the virtues of a noble woman, an ideal wife, mother and a staunch advocate for righteousness, making invaluable contribution to the Kingdom.

As Church Mother, she oversaw the Missionaries and played a crucial role in establishing Saints Day, a cherished time of union, celebration and fellowship within the church community.

To my forever family, Sharon & Mike, Susan, Lakisha, Keenan, Kilaya, Keenan Jr. & Kishawn, I love you! You took impeccable care of Mother. You served and honored her as the Matriarch of both your natural and church family. We share so many wonderful stories and memories of Mother- family gatherings, church services and activities, and I will cherish them forever. I have been so blessed to be a part of your family. I was never an "in-law," always an "in-love." As Mother was a virtuous Woman of God, she is now resting in her well-deserved reward. May it comfort you to know that you allowed Mother to experience her flowers while she was able to enjoy them. Your Sister and Aunt Forever, Teresa Kellam-Gilchrist
