Dawn Lowe Obituary - Bloomington, IL | The Pantagraph - Legacy.com

Robert) Bartlett, Lucas Sasveld, Sadie Delashmit, two great-grandchildren Raegan Bartlett and Abigail Carpy, and one sister LaVerne Wolgast of North Tonawanda, NY. Dawn was an Elementary Teacher for thirty-five years mostly in Southern Illinois, including the towns of Bunker Hill, Gillespie, Vandalia, Mount Vernon, Harrisburg, and last teaching in Collinsville Unit District 10, retiring in 1986. After retirement she substitute taught at Christ the King School in Springfield. When she wasn't teaching, she and her husband partnered well for many years in the churches he pastored, with Dawn working in Christian Education and Children's ministry. They were very proud of the years they spent at Sugar Creek Methodist Church in Springfield where they were part of an outreach team whose motto was "Place for Beginning, Becoming, and Belonging." Dawn loved playing the piano, listening to musicals, walking for exercise, shopping, and traveling the world. She was known for her coordinated outfits, including jewelry, that she wore throughout her life. She possessed a welcoming nature and was always desiring to help others. Dawn found humor in many situations; she rarely missed an episode of "The Tonight Show," starring Johnny Carson, her favorite comedian. She was fiercely devoted to her husband and children and always their biggest fan. Dawn will be dearly missed by her family and friends, who take comfort in knowing that she will be reunited with her husband Don, who was the love of her life. She was a member of Wesley United Methodist Church, Illinois Education Association, and the National Education Association of Retired Teachers. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Westminster Foundation. Dawn and Don loved Westminster Village and Martin Health Center, and all the staff and friends that were a part of their lives there. We cannot thank our Westminster/Martin Health Center "Family" enough for all of their care, support, and loving attention. Online condolences may be left at www.calvertmemorial.com.

Growing Peace and Freedom, One Flower At A Time - Spectrum News

There's a good chance those drivers and their passengers miss the flags and flowers.Turns out, there's a patriotic story to this landscaping along Tonawanda Creek. "To try and promote world peace," said Barb Toal, the vice president of the Batavia Peace Garden. The garden first started growing in 2012, to mark the bicentennial of the War of 1812. It's here in Batavia where those who lost everything in the burning of Buffalo fled. An arsenal was also built to keep the British out. It proved successful and Batavia became a place where people felt safe and welcome. Now the garden blooms as a way to remember those dark days by shedding light on our freedom, and something else, too. "It brings the community together and builds peace," Toal said. "You have to get along with each other." There's a butterfly bench and a globe that serves as a thank you to the military. "It shows that it's international, it's not just here in Batavia," Toal said. "If we can make peace in our little corner of New York, then we can do it across the world." They already are. At the end of the garden, 22 flags fly. Each represents a country where a peace garden grows. It connects Batavia to an international trail. T...

Carrying on the Hahn family flower tradition | Local News ...

You have enough to do.’ "Q: Where did you work after Steve passed? A: “Miller’s Florist in Tonawanda until he retired. He put me to work there, definitely. He let me blossom there.”Q: What did you do there?A: "When I started working for Mr Miller, I thought he hired me to be the grunt girl there. He hired me to be the designer, because when my brother Steve died, he watched what I did and he knew what I was capable of."Q: How’s the business been?A: “Alright. There are still people that think that Steve’s shop is still is open."Q: It’s by appointment?A: “Yes, I try to gear people that way and they love it. The one thing we have at my business that I stress is good customer service. It’s personal.”Q: What kind of stuff do you sell for Valentines day?A: “It’s pretty much roses. Roses, candy, stuffed animals. Mixed bouquets. I don’t do too many. I don’t get a lot of extra other kinds of flowers because it's pretty much just roses. It’s a dozen of the same color. I try to add nice greens. I try to add little bling to it and a nice ribbon just to make them special."Q: What kind of other things can customers expect?A: “Candies and stuffed animals too. I don’t have cards, but I should probably get some. Q: How about flowers?A: "Lillie, roses, hydrangeas — a mix, a nice mix. If anybody wants something besides roses, of course I’d make something beautiful."Q: What would you sell someone looking for something different?A: "Stargazers. I’ll sell them one stem of those, because all you need is one stem. That’ll fill up a girl's entire room. Usually, they’ll be one flower and the rest of them will be buds. They last longer than a rose and smell really good. One stem is all you need."You can reach Cindy at 201-1512 and check out her latest arrangements at https://www.facebook.com/PallisterHouse/ ...
