By ADMIN-RAS | Published | No Comments
Lisa Karen Stowe, 62, of Winston-Salem, NC passed away peacefully Saturday, April 13, 2024, with family and friends surrounding her.
Lisa was born in Leaksville, NC, the youngest daughter of Leonard Douglas Stowe and Ida Mae Lawson Stowe. Lisa was born two years and two weeks after her sister, Debra, and they were like twins, matching clothes and celebrating birthdays together. They traveled together from the mountains to the ocean, Debra as the driver and Lisa as the guide. For these last three years, Lisa and Debra were inseparable as each helped the other through difficulties and Lisa’s fight with cancer.
Lisa graduated from Morehead High School with the Class of 1980 and High Point College with BA in English in 1984. She was a member of Order of the Lighted Lamp. She worked with Wachovia Bank and then Wells Fargo for 40 years in the marketing division as a Vice President and a Marketing Program Manager. Lisa met and became lifelong friends with so many of her colleagues in her forty years with the Wealth Division.
Lisa enjoyed long walks around her Ardmore neighborhood and always took photos to share of the flowers and plants that interested her, as well as animals, especially bunnies. Many of her Facebook friends commented on how much they enjoyed her walks through the photos and stated that they could not pick just one of her photos as a favorite.
Lisa was a faithful member of Eden First Wesleyan Church, enjoying the music and messages each Sunday via the Facebook Live feed. But more than the church services, Lisa said that it was the members of the church and their phone calls, texts, cards, and messages of support that meant the world to her.
The family of Lisa Stowe wishes to thank the staff of Trellis Supportive Care Hospice Services of Winston Salem for their assistance in helping Lisa to stay in her home for the last weeks of her life. Lisa’s friends are too numerous to list each one, but the family wishes to especially thank Helga Gillespie, Don Robinson, Ed Hutchens, Cheryl Joyner, Deborah Casstevens, Carol Hoover, Marilyn Bilotti, Richard Hooley, Daniel Johansen, Tracy St. Marie, Jerry Pate, Sharon Frith, and Susan Vernon for their devotion and care of Lisa.
Lisa was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Ida Stowe, many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Survivors include Sisters, Debra Stowe and Rita Stowe Smith of Eden, Uncle Steve and Aunt Brenda Joyce of Mooresville, Niece, Stacy Martin (Todd) and Great Nephew, Will Martin of Burlington, Nephew, Corey Smith (Heather) of Statesville, Cousins Danny and Helga Gillespie and family of Eden, and many others.
Memorials may be made to Eden First Wesleyan Building Fund, 607 Church Street, Eden, NC 27288, or Trellis Supportive Care (attention: Finance), 101 Hospice Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.
The funeral service will be live streamed on Eden First Wesleyan’s Facebook page for those who cannot attend.
