Obituary
Virgil Raye Lowe, 77,
of Lincoln, Illinois, went home to be with his
Heavenly Father on November 10, 2025, surrounded by
his wife and loving family.
Virgil was born on October 3, 1948, in Lincoln,
Illinois, to William Edwin Lowe and Dorismae Stolz.
On March 11, 1966, he married his high school
sweetheart and the love of his life, Kathleen
Masterson. Together they built a loving home and
beautiful memories with their big family.
An entrepreneur at heart, Virgil owned and operated
a number of businesses throughout his life,
including Lighthouse Christian Bookstore, several
Hallmark Stores, and an Apple Computer and copier
dealership, just to name a few. In his later career,
he brought that same drive and commitment to serve
others as a private wealth advisor with Ameriprise
Financial.
Above all else, his most cherished relationship was
with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and he was
always eager to share that faith with others. Family
meant everything to him; if his family was there, he
was there. Known for his generosity, kindness, sense
of humor, and fearless spirit, Virgil loved to make
memories, whether it was water skiing, snow skiing,
or simply enjoying a trip with his wife and family.
