James Edward Rowe

James Edward Rowe fell asleep in death Tuesday, April 2, 2024. He was born to the late Tommie and Mildred Woody Rowe on April 18, 1941 in New Kensington, Pennsylvania as the second of seven children. James Rowe was a graduate of Ken High school circa 1961 and later enlisted in the army. While enlisted he met his wife, Mae Bell Walters Rowe (deceased), to whom he was married 48 years. James valued education and never lost his desire to learn new things. He could often be seen watching the History or Discovery Channel or reading the Bible or faith based publications. He also had an interest in technology and had many manuals detailing television, computer, and radio repair. James also loved music, Westerns and of course, the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, most importantly, James loved God, loved his family and loved people. He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and attended the Kingdom Hall on Stevenson Blvd in New Kensington, PA for several years. He enjoyed socializing and helping those in his community and will be sorely missed. James leaves behind several siblings to mourn his loss: Mary A. Thrower, Larry “Pete” B. (Regina) Rowe, Robert “Bobby” M. (Sylvia) Rowe, Virginia “Jenny” A. Rowe (deceased), Louise “LuLu” M. (Joseph) Turner, Toni L. (Charles) Burton.

His grandchildren include Brittany Daniels, La’Teasha Cunningham, Kenneth J. Rowe, Brice Hayes, LaShéri Dyke, Aryanna Carter, Kearston Brown, Kelsi Brown, Déja Benford, and Saniya Rowe-Heyward.
