LOWVILLE, N.Y.  —  Angeline "Angie" Meda MacKellar passed away on Sunday evening, Feb. 27, at her home on Shady Avenue. 

Born Aug. 5, 1911, in Cross Fork, Pa., the second daughter of Giuseppe and Giovanna Lorenzini, she graduated in 1930 from Lowville Academy.

Angie married Louis F. Meda on Oct. 6, 1936, and in November of the same year, they opened the Corner Pharmacy in downtown Lowville. She worked behind the counter with Louie for nearly forty years. Through those years, the soda fountain became a favorite gathering place enjoyed by many for its warm and friendly atmosphere. 

Angie is remembered for her quick walk, stylish way and ready smile. Louis died in October 1972, and the pharmacy closed in 1975.

She married Dr. Robert S. MacKellar of Tenafly, N.J., on Feb. 1, 1986. They enjoyed traveling, reading the New York Times and doing crossword puzzles together. Bob died in September 1999.

She will be dearly missed by her four children, Stephen (Anne), Mary (William), Christine (Daniel) and Tony (Dianne).

She is also survived by two sisters Mae Howley and Margaret Burdick, both living in Lowville. 

A sister, Theresa (Ely), and four brothers, Anthony, Hector, Virgil and Floriano, all died before her.

Our grateful thanks to Alexis Long for her loving care over the past two years and to Dolores Prue, Patricia Turck, and the staff and friends of Lewis County Hospice
Also our special thanks for everyone who supported the family allowing Angie to pass peacefully at her home.

Memorial gifts in Angeline’s name may be sent to Friends of Lewis County Hospice and to the Jefferson Community College Foundation.
