Mr. Eugene Lowery Sr., son of the late James Walker Lowery and Gertie Mae Lowery was born May 2, 1944 in Broadway, North Carolina.  He departed this life on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at his home.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and his loving sisters Naomi Lowery Wilson and Mary Louise Lowery.

 Eugene “Nookie” Lowery was a graduate of Hillside High School Class of 1962. He continued his education at Durham Technical Community College.  Eugene served in the United States Air Force.  After his return from the Air Force, Eugene worked for the U.S. Postal Service for over 40 years until his retirement.

“Nookie” was a lifelong Golfer.  He developed his enjoyment and passion for golfing as a boy while working as a caddy at the Duke Golf Course. He stated in a featured newspaper article that he would get up at 3:30 in the morning and run several miles to the golf course to make sure he got one of the first golfers to go out.  By his adulthood, Nookie was no longer a “caddy”, but a skilled golfer who won numerous tournaments and trophies, including the Bull City Classic. He continued to play golf until his health started to decline. Nookie also enjoyed Bowling and was also a collector of vinyl records and loved “Motown” music. His love for music began as a teenager while being a “Disc Jockey” at T.A. Grady Recreation Center in the 1960’s.

SHALL NOT WANT

Will you be my light when I cannot see?

When I can’t take another step Lord, will you carry me?

When I’ve lost my fight, will you be my strength?

Will you set me a table in the presence of my enemies?

I will lift my eyes to where my help comes from. And I won’t

be afraid of the shadow-cause I’ve seen the sun.

And when this life is over, I’m gonna live again. Gonna trade this cross for a crown.

No, this is not the end! And when You call my name, I will take my rest.

There’s a mansion in glory and You’re gonna meet me there.
