Born on August 25, 1941, in Russell County, she was a daughter of the late Edgar “Shorty” and Luda Johnson Stephens. Lowanna was a homemaker. She enjoyed working in her flowers and babysitting her grandbabies when they were young. Lowanna loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She lived her life each day as a testimony for Christ, that will remain in the hearts of her family and friends.

Lowanna is survived by two daughters, Myra (and Christopher) Ford, and Katisha (and Dewayne) Wilson, both of Russell Springs; two granddaughters, Anna Ford, and Abigail Ford, both of Russell Springs; and one sister, Judy (and Kenneth) Hay of Jamestown. 

In addition to her parents, Lowanna was preceded in death by three infant siblings.
