It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Ms. Bessie Lowe of the Town of Babylon Human Services.
For the past several years, we had the privilege of working alongside Ms. Bessie at our ACE Center Food Pantry in Amityville, where she operated the Town of Babylon Food Pantry. To everyone who walked through the doors, she brought warmth, compassion, enthusiasm, and an unmistakable sense of love.
Ms. Bessie never hesitated to go above and beyond for someone in need. Her kindness touched countless lives, and she became a treasured part of our pantry family. ❤️
Our pantry will not be the same without her. We are grateful for every person she helped, every smile she shared, and every act of kindness she gave so freely.
Rest in Power, Ms. Bessie. You will never be forgotten. 🕊️
