Plot Section 27 Lot 1 Crypt 24 In Minneapolis she continued in full-time medical practice while raising her five children and, in her spare time, enjoying the outdoors. When cold weather came, she was always the first to test the new ice in defiance of the Minneapolis Park Board Police and later in the season she could be seen figure skating and playing hockey with family and friends. She was so assiduous in keeping the snow cleared from the ice across the street from her house on Dean Boulevard that eventually the Park Board sent its plows to assist. She was also an avid skier and in the summer she played tennis enthusiastically, an activity she continued well into her 80s, when failing eyesight finally ended her athletic career. Her husband died in 1968 and in 1971 she returned to the East Coast, where she moved into the house on Wildwood Avenue in Madison that had been occupied by her Chittenden forebears since it was built in the early 1800s. She joined a pediatric practice in Guilford and served as health officer for the Town of Madison from 1971 to 1980. She was active in the Madison Land Conservation Trust, serving as its president from 1978 to 1983 and was an honorary trustee for the remainder of her life. She was also hostess to a weekly Sunday morning lady doctors' breakfast, when she and doctors Elisabeth C. Adams and Susan Williamson of Guilford and Alice Baker of Guilford and New York City entertained family and friends with tales of their long careers. On the land adjoining her house that her forebears had farmed for generations, she raised chickens and sheep and presided over a large vegetable garden and a farm stand, endeavors that became her principal activity after her retirement from medical practice at the age of 70. She continued farming into her 90s, when increasing infirmity finally forced her indoors. She is survived by her children Thomas H. Lowry of Northampton, Massachusetts, Katharine L. Truax and Robert G. Lowry of Madison, Elizabeth B. Lowry Lawson of Brookline, Massachusetts, and Mary L. Clark, of Dublin, New Hampshire. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.
