Mother of the artist, L.S. Lowry (q.v.). Her maiden name was Holson, and she came from a family of hat manufacturers. She became a well-known piano teacher. Laurence Stephen was her only child. It was a difficult birth and she never recovered full health. She was very disappointed that she had had a son, as she very much wanted a girl, and often complained that her sister had three beautiful daughters while she had only "a clumsy son." Lowry once remarked, "My mother died in 1939, and I know it sounds ridiculous and sentimental to say it, but I've never felt much interest in life since then."
