Mrs. Lowe, the wife of former Newfane Senior High School librarian and drama teacher Mr. Francis Lowe, is in urgent need of support. Mr. Lowe was a beloved figure at the school, remembered for his Irish heritage, his honor, and his dedication to students. He passed away from Alzheimer's disease many years ago, leaving Mrs. Lowe to carry on his memory.

Mrs. Lowe herself was an opera student at the New York Metropolitan Opera, and she gave up her promising career after falling in love with Mr. Lowe. She later taught private voice lessons and was a mentor to many, including me. Remarkably, Mrs. Lowe sang the original theme song to the Today Show when it was called the Dave Garraway Show. Now 98 years old, Mrs. Lowe is living on a modest librarian pension. After paying for her mobile home, which is in need of repair and has no heat, she often has little left for food and other essentials. Despite her resilience, she faces daily challenges just to make ends meet. The funds raised here will help Mrs. Lowe cover basic living expenses, especially food, and help repair her mobile home so she can live with dignity and comfort in her later years. 100% of donations will go directly to Mrs. Lowe.

I hope that any Newfane High School graduates who remember Mr. Lowe in the library or as our drama teacher will consider donating to help Mrs. Lowe. She was the love of his life, and your support would mean so much to her. Thank you for helping a cherished member of our community.
