Tillie Ellen Lowe Narciano was born on May 19, 1939 to Henry and Pina (Baum) Lowe on the Springview Ranch. She passed away at Lincoln Hillcrest Firethorn Rehabilitation Center on January 16, 2022 at the age of 82 years.
Tillie attended grade schools in Keya Paha County Schools and graduated from high school in May 1956. Later that year, she married Eddie Brown and they had a daughter, Veronica. They divorced and Tillie married Don Smith in 1960. She then married Kennel Cornell in 1963. Since he was in the service, they lived in Hawaii and California during this time.
After Kenny retired from the service, they moved back to Ainsworth. Kenny and Tillie were very active EMTs with the ambulance. Tillie also worked at the Brown County Sheriff’s Office as a dispatcher and matron. A favorite hobby they enjoyed was riding their motorcycles, and they took several trips on them.
In 2000, she married Michael “Rocky” Narciano and they lived in Lincoln together. When he passed away in 2006, Tillie resided in an apartment until she returned to Ainsworth in 2020 and moved into Park Homes. When her health worsened, she returned to Lincoln. She had two little dog companions, Simon and Poncho, that kept her company in Ainsworth.
Tillie is survived by her daughter, Veronica (Robert) Sidell; granddaughter, Heather (Michael) Williams of Omaha; and grandson, Jonathan Biggins. Her only great-grandson was Heather’s son, Atticus. She also left many friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; grandmother, Nancy Baum; husband, Rocky Narciano; along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.
