a life which was loved and respected by all who knew her. The memory of Pat will not soon fade, for her passing leaves a vacancy in the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixty which time can only partially fill. She was our friend and classmate, one who took an active part in various activities and whose artistic ability was evident to all. Though saddened by her untimely passing, we can draw consolation from these words: "There is no death, The stars go down to rise on some other shore. And bright the heaven's jeweled crown, They shine for evermore." - McCreery |

Mercer-Adams Funeral Service Lucy Jane Lowman (October 9, 1923 - January 27, 2012) Lucy Jane Lowman…a Coal Miner’s Daughter Lucy grew up in Wise County Virginia, a beautiful valley in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. After graduating from Appalachia High School in 1941, she studied at Radford University, graduating in 1944 with a BS in Business Education. She was hired by the Fairfax County Schools and taught 41 years at Mount Vernon High in Alexandria, Virginia. She earned Master’s Degrees in Administration, Guidance and Counseling, and for forty years she worked three part-time jobs— teaching adult education in the evening, as a secretary at the Pentagon and Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, and in sales at a fashionable department store. During her tenure she organized the first Chapter of the National Honor Society, served in all positions of the National Business and Vocational Societies, was Department Head of Business Education and COE Programs at Mount Vernon High. She was recognized by colleagues with honors such as nominations in the Who’s Who in Secondary Education, Virginia Outstanding Business Teacher, and was an advisor on committees for the Sears Roebuck Company and the American Vocational Association. She was a member of numerous professional organizations, including Alpha Delta Kappa, President and Treasurer of her local chapter, National Business Education Association, Virginia Business Education Association, National Education Association and Fairfax Education Association. She was a 70 year member in the Eastern Star. Upon retirement in 1984, the Annual Homecoming was dedicated to her. Response to her retirement event was so great, it was held at the Officers Club at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. She sought jobs for, supervised and mentored hundreds of students who pursued higher education and successful professional careers. She enjoyed music, and played the piano and violin. Her favorite music was from the jazz and swing eras. Her hobbies were gardening, crocheting, knitting and collecting antiques—especially clocks. Upon retirement, the Mt. Vernon School Alumni and PTA gave her a beautiful grandfather clock. She loved animals and her special pets were Brandy, Kip and Calico. The priorities of her life were God, family and friends. Her heart was big and her love was boundless. And one lifetime friend said, "Virginia has lost a jewel." Her memory will live forever in the lives of those she touched. She is survived by her loving and devoted sister, Ann Miruski and her husband Mike, and her niece, Michele, who she affectionately always called "Sugar Baby". |
