Freda Lowe

Freda Mae Bost Lowe, 65, on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013, Freda passed through the gates of Heaven and met her Lord. She was welcomed by her daddy, Fredrick Lee Bost. She was born on Jan. 10, 1948 in Salisbury, N.C., and raised in Woodleaf, N.C. She graduated from West Rowan High School and received her Bachelor of Arts from King College in Bristol, Tenn. On May 31, 1970 she married Thomas Lowe at Unity Presbyterian Church in Woodleaf, N.C. They were residents of Bristol, Tenn., for 13 years and moved to Chattanooga, in 1983. She was a member of the family of Covenant Presbyterian Church since its beginning. Freda was a servant of her Lord and a blessing to all she met. For many years she served as the president of the Women in the Church, always stepping in where there was a need. She loved stopping on the road to pick wildflowers, working in her yard, caring for her family and visiting with friends. She was a devoted, loving, and gracious daughter, sister, wife, mother and Nana. She will be greatly missed by her husband of 43 years, Thomas Lowe; her mother, Almeda Bost; her sister, Julia Meeks; her brother-in-law, Michael R. Meeks; her daughters, Rebecca Dyer, Sarah Caines and Mary Shaw; her sons-in law, Philip Caines and Bryan Shaw; her grandchildren, Matthew and Joshua Dyer, Abigail, Thomas, Jacob and Hannah Caines, Kalie, Samuel and Simon Shaw; great-granddaughter, Chloe Rose Dyer; many cousins, nieces and nephews; and all those who knew and loved her.
