Ima Nita Low, 98, of Arlington, Texas, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend, went to be with the Lord on July 23, 2011. Ima was born on April 7, 1913 in Altus, Oklahoma, to Reverend and Mrs. B.F. Pritchett. She was one of nine children raised in a loving, Christ-centered family. Ima married Ralph Low at the First Methodist Church in Fort Worth, Texas on July 9, 1933. The Lows were blessed with two sons, Bill and Bob. Fulfilling a life-long dream, Ima graduated with honors from Wichita State University with a degree in English, and prior to graduation, she became a published author. The Lows were devoted members and Sunday school teachers at Pantego Bible Church in Arlington, and later, Ima joined Arlington First Church of the Nazarene.
