      Janie Marie (Lawhorn) Rowe, 90, of 559 Lofton Road, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2015, in Fishersville, Virginia surrounded by her family.

      Mrs. Rowe was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was born in the Lofton area, and continued living there her entire life, raising her five children, and hosting family gatherings for her always growing number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Those were times that will always be remembered and cherished by her family. She also had a love for flowers and gardening, a passion that was passed down to many in her family.

      The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, 2015, in Henry Funeral and other times at her residence.

      Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 18, 2015, in Mount Joy Presbyterian Church by Pastor David Taylor and Pastor Fred Salmons. Burial will follow in Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

      Active pallbearers will be grandsons, Vernon Rowe, Brian Hays, Kevin Wolfe, David Rowe, Joseph Rowe and Aaron Rowe.
