George

Lowery

George Lowery Jr. was born in Cleveland, the only child of George Sr. and Marie Gruss Lowery. He attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, became a Certified Public Accountant, and built a successful Management Consulting career.

In 1960, George married his love, Carol Duale, and together they shared 65 years of marriage and built a family that became the center of his life.

They welcomed five children: Linda Hatfield (Chris), George III (Susan), Michael, Lisa Nelson (Andrew), and Deanna Zamiska (Mark).

His grandchildren are Stephanie (Mike), Emily (Jay), Grace (Cody), Rose (Jon), Connor (Gabriella), CJ, George IV, Eve (Nick), Julia, Abby (Mikey), Max (Molly), Ingrid, Summer, Mary, and Dean.

George adored his great-grandchildren, and his face would light up whenever he saw Kyle, Ella, Denni, Elias, Damian, Avery, Vinny, Roland, Julian, and Josephine.

George knew how to enjoy life. He loved golf and played for many years at Pine Valley Golf Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After retirement, he continued playing in Fort Myers, Florida, often bringing friends together by organizing golf leagues and outings.

A devoted Cleveland sports fan, George faithfully followed the Browns, Cavs, and Indians/Guardians. He also enjoyed following his children’s college sports teams. For his 90th birthday, his family was fortunate to celebrate with him at a Guardians game at Progressive Field, creating a special memory they will always cherish.

George was a Life Master Bridge player who enjoyed mentoring beginners and spending hours around the table with friends at McGregor Point Club in Fort Myers, Florida.

His love of games extended to a daily domino game with Carol, trivia, and computer card games. He took particular joy in cooking his special Tutto Mare dish, a favorite his grandchildren often requested. He also found pleasure in everyday activities: grocery shopping, completing Wordle every day, and watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. He remained sharp and engaged throughout his life.

George passed away one day before his 92nd birthday. His nearly 92 years were filled with family, friendships, traditions, competition, laughter, and love. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
