Susan Johnson Lowe

Susan Johnson Lowe, 83, a native of Johnson City, passed away at her home in Bluffton, SC, on Thursday, December 7, 2023. Susan was the daughter of the late Charles and Imogene McCorkle Johnson. She attended Johnson City public schools, graduating from Science Hill High School in 1958. While in high school, Susan enjoyed many friends and events. She then attended East Tennessee State College for three and a half years, where she met her future husband, Felix Lowe, and it was love at first sight. Once married, Felix, Susan and their two sons moved from location to location as Felix climbed the corporate ladder. While Felix worked, Susan and her sons remained busy playing soccer. Susan was literally a “soccer mom” as she starred on a number of men’s soccer teams. Later in retirement, Susan and Felix traveled six continents. They also enjoyed playing tennis daily. After Felix passed away in 2020, Susan occupied her time with the Castaway Pickle Ball Club, the Hampton Lake Bridge Club, playing tennis, where she played well enough to win a Senior Tennis Tournament, resuming her world travels and was a Jeopardy Scholar. Susan will be remembered as a physically active, independently strong woman, and a person who made friends all across the earth. She was a member of Lowcountry Presbyterian Church in Bluffton, where she served on various committees and remained active in church events. Susan is survived by her sons, Josh Lowe and Chris Lowe; Chris’s children, Carleigh and Shane Lowe, who were the apple of her eye; her brother, Richard Johnson and wife Patsy; several cousins. The Graveside funeral service for Susan will be held Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 2:00 P.M., in Monte Vista Memorial Park, 1900 E. Oakland Ave., Johnson City, TN 37601. Those planning to attend are requested to meet at the cemetery by 1:50 P.M. Thursday. In-lieu-of flowers, contributions may be made in Susan’s honor to Lowcountry Presbyterian Church, 10 Simmonsville Rd., Bluffton, SC 29910.Read Obituary
