Louise Mirto Lowry
Louise Mirto Lowry, 96, of Ottawa, passed away at Ottawa Pavilion in Ottawa, Ill. She was a lifelong resident of Washington until moving to Ottawa, Illinois seven years ago, to be closer to her family.
Surviving are two sons, James (Sharon) Lowry and Vern (Carol) Lowry; five grandchildren, Christopher (Christine) Lowry, Autumn (Tony) Sanelli, Jessica (David) Lowry, Jason (Melissa) Lowry and April (Grant) Reed; eight great-grandchildren, Connor and Callie Lowry, Avery and Levi Husted, Evan and Riley Lowry and Griffin and Pierce Reed; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Deceased are her loving husband of 31 years, James D. Lowry, who passed in October, 1987; her parents, Prisco and Petronilla Pasquillo Mirto; brothers, Nick, January and James Mirto; and sisters, Theresa Polito, Carmella Ruscillo, Ann Verno, Jenny DeSarro and Evelyn Mirto.
Louise was a loving mother, grandma and Gigi. Being a child of the “Great Depression,” life was hard at times, but family and friends were always welcomed in her home, and no one ever left hungry or without a smile on their face.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, all services were private. A celebration of life will be planned for later this summer.
Arrangements are entrusted to William G. Neal Funeral Homes, Ltd., 925 Allison Avenue, Washington, PA 15301, 724-225-8122.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Immaculate Conception Church, 119 W. Chestnut Street, Washington, PA, 15301, where she was a member most of her life.
