Pat and Doyle Rowe, long-time residents of Blanchard, Oklahoma, will have their ashes interred together in a memorial ceremony at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, Georgia.  Pat Rowe died January 2nd 2005 and Doyle Rowe died July 9th 2014 after battles with lung cancer.

Patricia Ann Felker was born in 1934 in Anderson, South Carolina.  Doyle Joe Rowe was born in 1934 in Cordell, Oklahoma.  They were married in 1953 at the First Baptist Church, Williamston, South Carolina.  They met during Doyle's Air Force career while he was stationed at Donaldson Air Force base, Greenville, South Carolina.

They would eventually return to Oklahoma and spend their retirement years in Blanchard, Oklahoma, where they enjoyed camping, traveling, and fishing.  When they were not on the road in their RV, they enjoyed gardening and spending time with friends and family.
