Lowell Loffelmacher
Oct. 3, 1935-Nov. 16, 2021
On the afternoon of No-
vember 16, 2021, Lowell
Stuart Loffelmacher
passed away in Tulsa, Ok-
lahoma. He was 86 years
old.
Born October 3, 1935 in
Belfield, North Dakota to
Paul Justus Loffelmacher
and Bernice Irene Den-
ham, his immediate fami-
ly included two sets of
twins. In birth order, his
siblings are brothers Don,
twins Reid and Roswell,
sister Helen and younger
twin brother Lawrence.
He grew up loving the
land, farming and animals
of all kinds. Lowell had
many pets in his life and a
not-so-secret affection for
cats.
He served in the Marine
Corps and rose to the rank
of Captain before he was
honorably discharged.
Lowell became a teacher
and high school adminis-
trator; he continued his
own education
throughout his career and
held a Doctorate of Educa-
tion at the time of his re-
tirement. He was blessed
to be married twice – first
to Nancy Elizabeth Book,
who passed away in 1995
and then to Carmen K. D.
Dugger, who passed away
in April 2021. Along with
his wonderful wives, he
was preceded in death by
his parents, his brothers
Don, Reid, Roswell and
his sister Helen. Lowell is
survived by his twin
brother, Lawrence, his
children – sons Jon and
Chris and daughter Mitzi;
five grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren;
and his stepchildren –
Ray, Christen and
Stephanie.
He will be missed by
his family and many
friends all over the coun-
try for his loyalty, integri-
ty, and a wry, generous
sense of humor.
