She attended Muskegon High School, where she met her future husband, Jerry Don Boone (of Lakeside). Lowella married Jerry and, together, they were to share a union of 65 years. Lowella loved to swim. She loved to watch storms come in off Lake Michigan. Her mathematical skills were cogent and pragmatic. She could never learn enough. Her faith in God was boundless but not dogmatic. Those who were lucky found in her a true friend. Sadly, most of her dearest friends in or around Muskegon, Michigan predeceased her. She never stopped trying to be the very best mother imaginable.
