May 7, 1926 – July 3, 2023
Lenora Lowe, a longtime resident of Pacific Palisades, has passed away.
She leaves behind two daughters (who attended Marquez Elementary, Paul Revere Jr High and Palisades High schools), Laurie Lowe McNulty and her husband Paul McNulty; Shelly Lowe and her wife Kathy Badertscher; two grandchildren Ryan McNulty and his wife Gina and Rebecca Contreras and her husband Moises; three great-grandchildren, Rocco and Bowen McNulty and Olivia Contreras.
Lenora was born in New York, the daughter of a Greek immigrant father and a Ukrainian immigrant mother. She moved to California with her parents and brother Eddie after World War 2 and had been a Los Angeles resident ever since. She married Harold Lowe in 1952. They were married for 52 years before he passed away in 2004.
Lenora was a force to be reckoned with—fiercely intelligent, proud, and an active Democrat, a lover of design and visual art, and stubborn beyond measure. She also possessed beauty and style, which she radiated wherever she went.
And she was strong: Olympic-athlete-caliber-strong in determination and sheer will to the very end of her 97 years. She will be missed and remembered always.
