Lowell C. Hisey, 90, of Rochester, passed away at 5:06 AM on Sunday, January 7, 2024 at Parkview Hospital of Fort Wayne.
On December 24, 1933, Lowell Hisey was born in Fulton County, near Talma to James Wilfred and Sadie Catherine Young Hisey. Proudly he graduated with the Class of 1951 from Talma High School, where he earned the honor of being Salutatorian. Answering the call of patriotism, Lowell served on the USS Valley Forge with the U.S. Navy and was honorably discharged in 1957.
Lowell and Shirley A. Redman were married on April 27, 1960 in Bourbon. They have shared 63 years of life's adventures. From their union came two daughters and two sons. The family tree continued to grow with the blessings of five grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Lowell began his career as a clerk at the Rochester Post Office and later became a carrier. He served our community for 33 years. Lowell was a member of a Euchre Club, that included family and friends. He also enjoyed the area golf courses and throwing horse shoes. Nothing was better than rolling strikes at the bowling alley. The Hisey’s loved to camp. One of their favorite places was Potato Creek. While there, they loved to watch the wildlife, feed and observe the birds.
