Obituary

Moulton D. Dowell, 82, passed away at 2:35 a.m. on February 4, 2018 at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield.

Moulton was born on September 26, 1935 in Menard County, son of Rube and Hazel (Pierce) Dowell. He married Twila Altig on July 29, 1962 in Greenview. She survives him.

Also surviving is his daughter Amy (Jeff) Edwards of Ballwin, three grandchildren: Olivia, Cole, and Jackson all of Ballwin, MO, his siblings: James “J.E.” (Joyce) Dowell of Colorado Springs, CO, Marcella Edwards of Springfield, and twin brother Bob G. (Betty) Dowell of Springfield, Robbie Dowell of Athens, many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters: JoAnn Plummer and Lillian Kirby, and infant brother: Raymond.

Moulton attended Elkhart Christian Church, was a member of Elkhart American Legion, and was the Hurlbut Township Commissioner. He enjoyed spending time with his family and above all else he had a huge personality and loved joking with people.

He also enjoyed gardening and collecting toy tractors. By many he will be remembered for his infectious smile. He retired from Fiat Allis after 40 years, and he worked for the Illinois Secretary of State.
