Sally Stowe Downs, 83, of Reedsville, WV, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, April 2, 2026. Sally was born on March 26, 1943, in Greenwood, SC, a daughter to the late Ralph Franklin Stowe and Lilly Mae (Fagans) Stowe.
Sally worked as a banker, and worked for the First National Bank of Maryland for many years until she retired. She loved to joke and have fun. She was a ray of sunshine to those who knew her. She was a great cook, a loving mother and grandmother, and truly cared about others.
Sally is survived by three children, Nancy Morgan, of Reedsville, John Morgan and his wife Alyssa McCarthy, of Alexandria, VA, and Robert Downs, of Maryland; four grandchildren, Michael Morgan, of Reedsville, WV, Sean Morgan, of Alexandria, VA, Robert Downs, Jr., of Maryland, and Jennifer Downs, of Maryland.
In addition to her parents, Sally is preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence “Larry” Paul Downs; four siblings, Claude Willis Stowe, Emery Stowe, Betty Brewer, and Billy Stowe; as well as three treasured cats, and her beloved companion, golden retriever, Cinnamon.
In keeping with her wishes, Sally will be cremated privately. Online condolences may be sent to the Downs family at www.morganfuneralhomewv.com. Morgan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Downs family.
