Noah E. Rowe

Noah E. Rowe, US Army Retired, 93, of Sea Gate and formerly of Clarksburg, WV, passed away Thursday, July 9, 2020, at his family’s home in Carolina Pines.

Mr. Rowe will be laid to rest at Grafton National Cemetery in West Virginia at a later date.

Noah was born on June 3, 1927, in Clarksburg, West Virginia to the late Frank and Carrie Rowe. He honorably served our country in the United States Army and retired as a Staff Sergeant. As a true American hero, he fought in World War II and the Korean Conflict where he earned a Bronze Star and was a Silver Star recipient. In his mind however, the most important detail of his military career was being able to assist with finding his brother who had been captured during the Korean Conflict. Noah joined his brother’s platoon and was able to assist in his rescue.

After retirement he served as head of security at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Upon retirement, he and his wife, Gerda, moved to Sea Gate, North Carolina where they lived for 15 years.

He is survived by his daughters, Carrie Virginia Rowe of New Bern and Sylvia Grapposonno of Augsburg, Germany; step-son, Heiner Demme and wife Patsy of Florida; granddaughters, Marisa Grapposonno and Kathy Demme; grandsons, Joshua Rowe, Matteo Grapposonno and Stephen Demme; and great grandchildren, Peter and Hannah.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife, Gerda Rowe who passed away in 2016; sisters, Lola Ellen Smith, Neiba Balle Lynch and Margaret Melinda Ford; and brothers, Bacel Clifton Rowe and Frank William Lewis Rowe.
