Carol A. (Breen) Lowry, 76, of Manchester, beloved wife of 60 years of Milton W. "Bob" Lowry, peacefully passed away at home with her family at her side on Sunday, March 19, 2017.

Carol was employed as a receptionist in the J.C. Penney Salon in Manchester prior to her retirement. As an Air Force family, the Lowry Tribe lived in many places across the U.S. making lifelong friends along the way. Carol enjoyed camping, family card games, trips to Foxwoods and bingo with her buddies at the Elks. She was well known for her wonderful baked goods that were always the first to sell out at bake sales. Carol's compassion and loving nature made her everyone's favorite.
