Odie Bee Lowe
June 24, 1920 — December 16, 2011
"A ship sails away and we see it no more,
But we know it is going to some other shore,
Our dear one passed on and we see him no more
But we know he is waiting on some other shore."
Odie Bee Lowe Sr. was born on June 24, 1920 in Walkerville, Arkansas to Joseph Lowe and Carrie Osburne Lowe. His soul took flight on December 16, 2011 at the age of 91 in St. Michael's Hospital in Texarkana, Texas. He served in the United States Army; entrance of service was January 5, 1943. While serving his country, he received decorations, citations, a World War II Victory ribbon and was named a great PFC guard patrolman. He was also a trained rifleman. He was honorably discharged from Camp Chaffee, Arkansas on February 25, 1946. He pursued and succeeded as a trades carpenter and was known and sought after throughout McCurtain County for his professional skills.
He confessed Christ at an early age and was a long time member of Rose Hill Baptist Church in Idabel, Oklahoma, where he served many years as the Sunday School Superintendent, an ordained Deacon, and as chairman of the Deacons Board. Odie B. Lowe Sr. was truly a gentle man; he was loved and respected by those privileged to have known him. His favorite pass time was playing dominoes and fishing.
