Educator.

Born at Boissevain on 7 January 1896, daughter of William Little (1855-?) and Isabelle “Belle” Wells (1868-?), she became a teacher and worked many years in the Winnipeg School Division. She taught at Lord Selkirk School (1921-1929) and Glenwood School / Glenelm School (1929-1944) prior to becoming Principal (1944-1961) of the latter. On 8 June 1946, she married Edwin T. “Ted” Lowry (c1890-1954). Following her retirement in June 1961, she moved to British Columbia and died there at West Vancouver on 30 July 1995.
