Limmie L. Rowe was born in Wadley, Randolph County, Alabama on May 1, 1931, to the late Clinton and Dora (Lane) Rowe.

At an early age, Lim joined Mount Olive Methodist Church in Wadley, where he faithfully served as an Usher and Trustee. Lim remained a faithful member of Mount Olive throughout life. As he entered his senior years he was compelled to limit his activities.

Lim attended Rocky Mount Church School, and later The Randolph County Training School (R.C.T.S.) in Roanoke. On July 15, 1951 he joined the United States Air Force and served as a cook during the Korean Conflict until September 14, 1955. He was an honorably discharged Veteran of the United States Air Force. After his discharge from the military, he found his niche in the construction industry as a brick mason. Lim also worked for the County, and also as a School Bus Driver for the Randolph County Training School.

He united in marriage with Miss Laverne Knight. Their union was blessed with two sons and two daughters.

The two things in life that Lim found most enjoyable were: baseball, and spending time with his family. His children treasure him for always making a special effort to spend quality time with them.
