Diane was born September 21, 1955, in West Monroe, LA, to the union of her parents, Millard Lowe and Margie Nelson Lowe. She passed from this life July 21, 2025, at the Jackson Parish Hospital in Jonesboro, LA.  Diane dedicated over 40 years of her life working alongside her parents and siblings at Margie’s Greenhouse, where she lovingly cared for flowers and vegetables, and warmly welcomed every customer who walked through the doors. She looked forward to each spring, cherishing the opportunity to reconnect with returning customers and to warmly welcome new ones. Diane took great pride in their hard work and the community they built. As we mourn her passing, we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of her Savior, joyfully reunited with the loved ones who went before her. Preceding her in death are her parents and her brother, Damon Lowe.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Warren "Benny" Ezell (Crystal Rose); her daughter, Meranda G. Ezell (fiance' Chad Morehead); sisters, Mackey Cassels and Wanda Lowe; brothers, Darrell Lowe (Gail) and Dwayne Lowe (Ann); grandchildren: Tayla Diaz (Johnathan), Sage Morehead, and Cara Ezell; great-grandson, Tate Diaz; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Serving as pallbearers will be Gary Cassels, Todd Pearson, Sherman Cassels, Randel Cassels, Wesley Lowe, and Jeff Conrad. Honorary pallbearers are Brad Lowe and Caleb Duke.


The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff of Wyatt Manor Nursing Center and the Cassels and Duke families for their unwavering dedication, kindness, and compassionate care they provided for Diane.
