Delores Lowder Wyatt's Obituary
Delores Ann Lowder Wyatt, 75, of Gold Hill, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, at Bethany Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. A private family service will be held to honor and celebrate her life.
Born February 23, 1950, in Mecklenburg County, NC, Delores was the daughter of the late Martin Delmar Lowder and Martha Barbee Lowder. Delores devoted her career to Stanly Regional Medical Center, where she served faithfully as Food Service Director. She was known for her strong work ethic, her kindness, and her deep loyalty to both her family and her staff. Delores cared for her employees as if they were her own family-always willing to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or give the shirt off her back.
She especially loved the Christmas season, finding joy in decorating, celebrating, and creating warm holiday memories for those she loved.
Delores is survived by her husband of nearly 55 years, Tommy Lee Wyatt; her son, Jason Wyatt and wife Alicia of Jacksonville, NC; her brother, Steve Lowder and wife Teresa of Albemarle; two nephews, Michael Lowder and wife Laura of Albemarle, and Nathan Wyatt and wife Dominique of Statesville; brother-in-law, Larry Wyatt of Gold Hill; numerous great nieces and great nephews, and her beloved dog, Holly.
