Martha Lower

Martha Lower
They say a picture is worth a thousand words! Looking at the picture of Martha Lower, one can see from the smile on her face, the happiness and joy that radiated from her. That was the joy and love that the family felt from Martha. On July 29, Martha told us goodbye for the final time. Her family, her many tennis friends, her bridge friends, and her church friends at St. Andrew Presbyterian will all remember a kind, loving woman of character.

Martha was very active in Sun City Center over the past 41 years. She served on the CA board as treasurer, was chosen as Woman of the Year in 1992, served on the tennis association long range planning committee and always played many hands of bridge in various bridge clubs in Sun City Center.

Martha was preceded in death by husband, Mark Thomas. She later married John Lower, who also preceded her.

She leaves behind a loving family that referred to her as “Grandma T,” especially the grandchildren. She had daughters, Nan Baytos, Sun City Center, and Kathleen Thomas, Indianapolis, Ind.; and a son, David Thomas (wife, Patti), Danville, Ind. She loved to talk about the four grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, all of whom she was most proud!

Martha's 98 years were blessed with her love of God and kindness for all.

Donations in her memory can be made to the Sun City Center Samaritan Services.

A memorial will be planned for later this fall.
