Haley Danielle Lowder

Haley Danielle Lowder began her journey here on Earth in Sparks Hospital on April 30th 1998. From the time she was created we knew and appreciated the fact that she was a force of nature. After all, one of her best nicknames was “Hurricane Haley.” She was almost two weeks past her due date when she entered this world and from then on she was known as a young warrior. She battled several struggles from an early age. But when she was eight that’s when her biggest battle began. Her diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. She battled it with all her might and although she had many ups and down with her disease she conquered it all with a smile on her face and her smile was indeed infectious. She accomplished many things in life. She was an active FFA member, ball player, monster truck fanatic and the best selfie taker. She loved all kinds of music, was a young woman of faith and just a good ole country girl. She was a 2016 high school graduate of Gans Public Schools. She tried her hand as a CNA and in cosmetology. She was an amazing daughter, sister, and friend. But her proudest accomplishment was becoming a mother. Through her time of bringing life into this world she fought more battles and yet again conquered them all with that same amazing smile. Just like a real hurricane, often times there was devastation wherever they made landfall. But through the devastation they always rebuild. Haley was a pro at being able to rebuild from her own trials. She was a rock to many and up until her last breath she continued to be there for others and let them know everything will be okay. She has touched so many lives and has made our lives better for it and like all great things in life. She will be missed and never be forgotten. Haley passed this life on February 21, 2020.
