ADA G. ROWE

Ada G. ROWE of Longmont, CO, died at Longmont United Hospital on September 1,

and graduated from Mount Saint Gertrude's Academy High School in Boulder.  Ada 
married Eddie T. Rowe July 8, 1953, in Raton, New Mexico.  Ada worked with her 
husband in their own heating, plumbing, and propane business in Estes Park from 
1970 to 1983.  The couple then moved to Deming, New Mexico, where they lived on 
a farm until 1990.  Ada moved to Berthoud, Colorado, after her husband died and 
then to Longmont in 2000.  Mrs. Rowe was a member of the Estes Park Order of

Ada was also a homemaker taking care of her family.  She enjoyed sewing and
