Mabel Lowe posted on Instagram on Oct. 3. Her tribute came days after the family said Fiona Lowe had died at 13.
Mabel, the eldest daughter of Chad Lowe and Kim Painter, wrote, “I love you so much Fiona” and said she would “honor you forever and keep your memory alive.”
Chad Lowe and Kim Painter
Chad Lowe and Kim Painter said on Sept. 29 that they were “heartbroken by the loss” of Fiona, calling her “a loving young girl who was smart, creative, and loved to dance.” They added that she was “adored by her sisters” and “deeply loved by her parents,” and said, “In fact, she was the light of our lives.”
The family also asked for “prayers and privacy at this time.” That left the public statement centered on grief, not explanation, and it meant the only fresh development on Oct. 3 was Mabel’s own voice after several days of silence.
Sept. 30 and Oct. 3
Chuck Lowe had already posted on Instagram on Sept. 30, sharing a photo of Fiona swimming and writing, “Rest in peace sweet Fiona.” Mabel’s note pushed the family response one step further: from a collective statement to a direct message from Fiona’s older sister.
The family’s tribute told readers how they saw Fiona’s life, but it did not set out what caused her death. In a story built on a teenage loss, that omission leaves the focus on what the family chose to share publicly and what they chose to keep private.
Fiona Lowe, 13
Fiona was 13 when she died, and Chad Lowe and Kim Painter also share daughter Nixie. For readers following the family’s posts, the practical takeaway is simple: the public record now includes Mabel’s words, the parents’ statement, and no further detail beyond the request for privacy.
That makes Fiona’s cause of death the unanswered point that still matters most. Until the family says more, Mabel’s tribute stands as the clearest public response to a loss that has already drawn the whole household into view.
