Anna Belle Lowry was born to Harry and Sarah (Hornbeck) Killer on November 28th, 1928, in Colony, Oklahoma and passed away at home with family, having reached the ages of 92 years, 8 months, and 13 days.

Anna Belle was raised by her mother and grandparents in the Colony area. She attended Pioneer Rural Schools and graduated Colony High School in 1946. She married Billy Russell Lowry on August 16th, 1947, and they moved southwest of Colony. They were blessed with two children Billy Lynn and Frances Elaine. While living in Colony she supported her husband as they managed a farming and ranching operation with Bill’s brother and wife. She also served on the Election Board, was an active member of the Eastside Neighbors’ Club, she helped Belle Smith at the Colony Cafe decorating cakes and serving at various events. She was the Chairperson for the 100th year Columbia Presbyterian Church Celebration and was an ordained Elder. She moved to Sapulpa in 2009 to be near her family. She immediately immersed herself in the community becoming active in a new church, making new friends within the church and around her neighborhood. When she wasn’t soaking up time with her family, she stayed busy with lunch outings, reading, and spending time outside. She loved watching her flowers grow and the different birds that came to her yard. She transitioned to Assisted Living after she began showing signs of Dementia. Once the pandemic changed life as we knew it, she broke out of that joint to enjoy daily life living with her granddaughter, her husband, and three great grandchildren. She was spoiled and well taken care of. She lit up watching the boys play any sports or even when they spoke to her. She enjoyed watching FoxNews, sitting outside soaking in the days, and eating ice cream. She had a fulltime caregiver, Kenzie Trotter, that loved her just as family would. She was able to attend baseball and basketball games, walk up and down the street, and days prior to her passing, kicking her feet for exercise in the pool. She knew her time was nearing and she greatly anticipated her eternal home with her Savior, Bill, and Billy Lynn.
