A native and lifelong Minden resident, Lowe was named for his mother, the former Cecile Cherry (1898-1983).

Lowe graduated in 1940 from Minden High School and then attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. He received his legal credentials through Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge, where he was a board member of Louisiana Law Review in 1943 and again from 1946 to 1947. He interrupted his legal studies to serve during World War II in the United States Navy, from which he was discharged as a lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve. He worked for a time at the former Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant west of Minden to pay expenses for law school.
