LOWE

Eldred Alfred Lowe, 84, of Pincher Creek passed away peacefully at the Pincher Creek Health Center with family by his side on December 5, 2016.

Eldred was born March 5,1932 in Albright, Alberta to Chester and Thelma Lowe. He is survived by his wife Eva Campbell; his four sons, Rick, Randy (Lori), Brad (Jeannie), David (Sheila); 8 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; sisters Audrey (Gordon) and Shirley; brother Ronnie (Elaine); sister-in-law Jennie; Eva’s sons Barry and Jim; daughter Cheryl (Greg) and their two children; as well as many loving nieces, nephews and other relatives. He was predeceased by his first wife, Gladys; daughter-in-law Debbie; and brother Darcy.

Eldred was first and foremost a very proud father, grandfather and great grandfather.

After finishing school, he moved north to work in the mines but wanting to be closer to home and family he moved back to Vegreville and started farming. After just a few years farming, he decided that working for UGG as a grain buyer and the steady pay cheque to help raise his family was a much better fit. He moved to postings at Heinsburg, Mannville, Grande Prairie and Lethbridge. Then in 1971 he settled his family in Pincher Creek as the Co-operators Insurance agent. Dad enjoyed volunteering in the community in countless ways, with the Heritage Acres elevator being a particular passion. He served on many boards including the United Church board and had a term as Mayor of Pincher Creek when he was honored by the Peigan Nation with the traditional name of “White Buffalo”. Dad was always willing to lend a hand where needed.

Dad was a dedicated father of four boys that loved to play hockey and he followed and supported each one of them either as a coach or a cheering parent. He was a very kind, considerate and patient man whom we admired very much. He was truly a wonderful mentor to us all and we will miss him dearly.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, December 10, 2016, at the Pincher Creek United Church, 972 Police Ave, Pincher Creek, AB T0K 1W0

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Pincher Creek United Church Endowment Fund, P.O. Box 667, Pincher Creek, AB T0K 1W0 or Windy Slopes Health Foundation, P.O. Box 2554, Pincher Creek, AB T0K 1W0
