Lorraine Skolfield Lowell

REDMOND, Ore. – Lorraine S. Lowell was born in Lewiston, the daughter of lighthouse keeper Clarence A. and Annette Bourassa Skolfield of North Harpswell. She passed away suddenly and peacefully on Sept. 6, 2025.

Lorraine graduated from Brunswick High School and the University of Maine, Orono. She worked as a laboratory technician prior to marrying Lloyd D. Lowell. His work brought them to New Jersey where she volunteered in youth activities in the church, school, community (including Cub Scout den mother), and environmental centers.

Following her husband’s retirement, they became snowbirds, spending half their time in Parker Head, Phippsburg, and the other six months in Sun City Center, Fla. She was a talented knitter (winning ribbons at the County Fair), artist, seamstress and weaver. Often seen at the swimming pool, she was an active member of the Sun City Center Swim Dancers for 22 years. With her husband’s passing, she moved to Sisters, Oregon to be closer to family.

She was predeceased by her husband, Lloyd D. Lowell; her son, Mark R. Lowell and daughter-in-law Linda S. Lowell. She is survived by her daughter Eini C. Lowell (husband James Ammeson), her sons David Lowell and Brian Lowell; and three grandchildren, Brett L. Ammeson, Cassandra E. Lowell, and Christina S. Lowell.

Arrangements will be made by Eternal Reefs, Inc. with a reef ball internment in Sarasota Bay, Fla. The family will hold a celebration of her life at a later date.
