Lydoris Lowery

October 26, 1962 - February 7, 2025

Lydoris Lowery, age 62, passed away from this Earthly home on Friday, February 7, 2025, at East Jefferson Hospital, after giving it a good fight. Lydoris, born October 26, 1962, in New Orleans, arrived with a strong spirit as the newest member of the family to Junior Lydonis and Willie Pearl Rowell. She graduated from Varnado High School in 1981. Soon after, she married her high school beau, Jerry Jones and went on to take cosmetology classes and some college for licensed practical nursing. Jerry and Lydoris had one daughter, Lydonia. After nearly giving up on becoming a “Hunni”, Lydoris finally welcomed her grandchild, Helena Camille Jones in 2012. She loved hard, lived hard, and occasionally, fought hard. She enjoyed the priceless things in life, like spoiling her “babygirl”, Helena, and spending time with her pup-child, Shorty, followed by the rest of the family.

She is survived by her only daughter: Lydonia Randall; one granddaughter: Helena Camille Jones; her mother: Willie Pearl Sheridan; and one brother: Stanley Lydonis Rowell.

Lydoris was preceded in death by her father: Junior Lydonis Rowell; one sister: Patricia Winona Ann Rowell; and a brother: William Ryan Rowell.

Visitation began at Brown-McGehee Funeral Home on February 12, 2025 from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM and resumed on February 13, 2025 from 10:00 AM until the Service at 11:00 AM.
