Horace A. Lowery

Horace A. Lowery, 80, of Lancaster, PA, peacefully transitioned into the Lord’s arms on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, with his devoted wife by his side. Born in Coatesville, PA, he was the son of the late Fred and Blanche (Alston) Lowery. He shared a loving and happy marriage with his wife, Brenda, who remained faithfully by his side. Upon graduation from Horace Scott Senior High School, Horace proudly served his country in the United States Army, which included a tour in South Vietnam. Assigned to the infamous 101st Airborne Division, he attained the rank of staff sergeant (E-6) and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his distinguished service in the Infantry Division during the Vietnam War. Horace went on to continue his education at Goldey-Beacom College, where he earned his associate degree, and later received his bachelor’s degree from Wilmington College. He also attended Widener University School of Law. A man of deep faith, Horace was an ordained minister with the Church of God in Christ in the Commonwealth of PA. After relocating to Harrisburg, PA, he worked in banking before his various roles in public service, working with the Department of Commerce, the Treasury Department, and the Mayor’s Office. He was later appointed as a District Judge by the late Governor Robert Casey of PA. Horace also worked as an administrator with Verizon until his retirement. Horace enjoyed listening to gospel music and praising the Lord. A self-taught keyboard player, jazz music and soul food were his other favorites. However, his deep love for high-end cars was his ultimate passion. He is survived by his wife and constant companion, Brenda; a son, Horace (Gemma) Lowery; daughters, Stephanie (Ray) Armstrong, Latonya Tucker, and grandchildren, all of Delaware; his cousin, Dennis Alston of Coatesville; step-children: Chris Caldwell, Brandon Sapp, Lacey Lattisaw, and Raymond Franqui (bonus son) all of Lancaster; daughter-in-law, Kimberly Lattisaw of York; and his cherished grandchildren: Gabriel, Olivia, Nevaeh, Lexi, Lawson, and Leilani.
