Michele (Moe) Denise
Lowary, 60, of Pendleton
passed away Sunday, July
31st, 2016, at OHSU in Port-
land after a long battle with
leukemia.
Michele was born to Dave
and Bernice Lowary on July
31st, 1956, in Pendleton. She
was raised and educated in
Pendleton and grad-
uated from Pend-
leton High School
in 1974. Michele
loved camping and
the outdoors. She
enjoyed camping
at her “Loafarosa”
near Tollgate where
she loved watching
and feeding the
deer, birds and
other wildlife. She Lowary
enjoyed her trips
to Mexico and riding roller
coasters.
She was notoriously fun,
had a wry sense of humor, a
contagious laugh and always
had a joke to tell or found a
way to laugh in spite every-
thing she was going through,
which is a true testament to
her spirit.
Michele worked locally
at Safeway, Buttrey’s, PGG
and then 25 years at Wilcox
Furniture until they were sold.
She then started work as a
caregiver — compassionate,
kind, and patient with each
person she worked with
until her illness forced her
to stop. She was a volunteer
at the Children’s Museum
in its early years. She loved
working with people and was
uncanny at putting faces with
names and their stories.
She is survived by her
husband
Brent
Merriman
of
Pendleton: brothers
Steve and wife Patti
of Portland, Dick
and wife Charlotte
of Eugene, Gary
and wife Dorothy
or Hermiston and
sister-law
Karra
Merriman Crawford
of Happy Valley.
She also is survived
by several nieces
and nephews. She was
preceded in death by her
parents.
A celebration of life will
be held at the Roy Raley room
in the Pendleton Round-Up
Grounds on Sunday, August
21st at 1:00 p.m. She liked
bright colors, Hawaiian shirts,
and all things tie-dyed. In her
spirit, wear them if you’d like.
In lieu of lowers, dona-
tions can be made in her
name to Kick’n Cancer New
Beginnings, P.O. Box 1362,
Pendleton, OR 97801.
