Myrtice Lucinda Walker Lowery was born in Milan, Georgia on August 16th, 1928, to the late George Walker and Georgia Mae Parker Walker. She was a lifelong resident of Dodge County and a 1946 graduate of Milan High School. God entrusted her with gifts of service and affection for children. She earned an associate degree in education from Middle Georgia College and taught kindergarten at West Telfair Academy. She later opened her home as a childcare center, where she loved and taught many children over the years. She was a dedicated member of Milan Baptist church and believed in the importance of Vacation Bible School and discipling children. Her legacy is the love she showed to those who were privileged to know her.
