Longtime Waverly Hall Council Member Pat Lowman, 86, Dies

Longtime Waverly Hall City Council member and former Mayor Pro Tem Patricia “Pat” Lowman died July 15 at age 86.
Lowman spent 40 years as a member of the Waverly Hall City Council, holding the Public Safety seat. During her tenure on the Council, Lowman was instrumental in bringing about the city’s new Fire Administration building.
She served as Mayor Pro Tem twice, from 1996 to 2003 and again from 2017 to 2025.
In addition to her service on the City Council, Lowman played a critical role in numerous community improvement projects.  Among the projects Lowman worked with were the 1977 Governor’s Project competition; the “Paint Up, Clean Up, Fix Up, Beautify Waverly Hall” campaign; and her service on the “Up With Waverly Hall” committee.  That last led to the renovation of the Government/Arts Building, which now serves as City Hall and the headquarters of the Police Department. The building was dedicated to Jim Stretch on October 9, 1994.
A celebration of her life is scheduled for this morning at 11:00 at Waverly Hall Methodist Church.
