Obituary

“

Elizabeth as the matriarch of our family loved every generation.

Elizabeth Ann Rowson was born on December 14, 1928 to Mary and Donald Lovell. She was the second child with 4 siblings; James, William Earl, Earline and Joseph Lovell, all who proceeded her in death.

Born at home in the Bronx, New York and with humble beginnings, she attended Public School 89 and Public School 119 elementary schools, Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School, and Seward Park High School in 1947. Elizabeth then was formally trained in nursing and worked at Harlem Hospital from 1959 to 1994, retiring after 35 years as an obstetrics nurse.

Elizabeth cared for many babies including her two sons, Carl and Steven Rowson who proceeded her in death, along with her husband Clemon Rowson. Needless to say, Elizabeth had quite the "welcoming committee" at the gates of Heaven!

Elizabeth as the matriarch of our family loved every generation:

Elizabeth surrendered a beautiful life of 97 years to receive her just reward in Heaven on November 9, 2026 at Harlem Hospital. 

All who have ever had the privilege of calling her friend join with our family in saying, 

"Fare thee well Liz. Enjoy the eternal glory that God has for you."
