October 12, 1955 -July 28, 2025
Peggy Ann Lowry “Hill” walked through the gates of Heaven on Monday, July 28, 2025. Peggy was born on October 12, 1955, to Donald Eugene and Rosetta Mae (Proctor) Lowry. Peggy had two children, Jennifer Rose Lowry and James Robert Lucas.
Peggy loved to cook, and everything she made was amazing, from her special Hawaiian Chicken to fried chicken. Baking was her way of showing love. If she found a new recipe that she liked, she would write it down on whatever she could find. Peggy will be remembered for her famous Black Walnut Banana Bread. She worked as a waitress in Fort Scott, Kansas, at the Flamingo, Flanner’s Owl Roost, and the Colonial restaurants. Peggy also worked as a CNA in Arma, Kansas, and in Nevada, Missouri, where she lived for many years.
Peggy graduated in 2016 with her diploma from Chanute High School in Chanute, Kansas. She had a quick smile and an infectious laugh. Peggy loved dancing and listening to music, her favorite artists being Elvis Presley, the Oak Ridge Boys, and Gary Allan. She enjoyed driving in the country, listening to music, and spending time with her friends. She loved day trips to wherever the road took them. Peggy was a bright spot in this world that will continue to shine in the hearts and minds of all who knew her.
Peggy is survived by a daughter, Jennifer Arnold (Troy) of Fort Scott, Kansas; a son, James Lucas of Fort Scott, Kansas; and a brother, Bobby Proctor of Wichita, Kansas.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Eugene and Rosetta Mae Lowry; two brothers, Donald “Donnie” Eugene Lowry and Jeffrey “Jeff” Roe Lowry; one of her best friends/sister-in-law, Debra Sue (Long) Lowry; and many aunts and uncles.
