2019 Herbert M. Davidson Award
Nancy & Lowell
Lohman
Special to Seniors Today
The Community Foundation of
Volusia & Flagler will honor
community leaders and philanthropists
Nancy and Lowell
Lohman with its coveted Herbert M. Davidson
Memorial Award for Outstanding Community
Service. The dinner event is scheduled
for Thursday, Oct. 3, reception beginning at
6 P.M. at the Mori Hosseini Student Union at
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Also
being honored with the Community Foundation’s
Young Leader award is business
leader and community volunteer Nellie
Hosseini Lupoli.
“It is not possible to overstate the impact
the Lohmans have had in business and
throughout the community,” said Tom Upchurch,
a business and community leader
who chairs the Community Foundation.
“While the Lohmans have been extraordinarily
generous throughout their careers with
Lohman Funeral Homes, their community
involvement and philanthropic support has
only grown since they sold their enterprise.
The Lohmans are best known as successful
developers and operators of funeral
homes and cemeteries throughout the region.
Lowell began career in the funeral and cemetery
profession in the 1970s transitioning
from owning water/sewer treatment facilities.
Lowell has owned businesses individually
and with his family including his wife,
Nancy, his sons Ty and Brian, and his
brothers Victor and Daryl over the course of
his 50-year career. Lowell has owned and
operated more than 60 individual business
properties. Their family was the largest private
owners of funeral homes and cemeteries
in Florida for more than 30 years.
Nancy Lohman has also been widely recognized
for her work in the funeral home
and cemetery profession and in the community.
She was honored as one of the five
most influential businesswomen in the region
and received the most charitable award.
She received the Halifax Humane Society
Humanitarian Award, the Embassy of Hope
Hall of Fame Award for Community Service,
and has been honored as an outstanding
alumna of her alma mater, the Ohio
State University.
Together, the Lohmans have been honored
by the City of Ormond Beach, the Volusia
County Sheriff’s Department, the City of
Daytona Beach, the Florida Police Chiefs
Association, and the City of Ormond Beach
for various community volunteer initiatives.
Recently they received the Daytona Regional
Chamber of Commerce Lou Fuchs (pronounced
Fox) Award.
Today, having sold their funeral homes
and cemeteries, the Lohmans are owners
and developers of more than 4,000 apartments
and have expanded their philanthropic
activities.
Most recently, they organized the Halifax
Humane Society Capital Fund Drive
and provided $1 million donations to both
the Halifax Humane Society and the Council
on Aging to support programs to care for
the community’s aging population. They
have donated more than $4 million to charitable
organizations
along with Nancy’s
alma mater.
The Herbert M.
Davidson Memorial
Award for Outstanding
Community Service
was created by the
Community Foundation
in 1992 to honor
individuals who have
offered exceptional levels
of service to the
community.
Nellie Hosseini
Lupoli
Former United States Congressman John
Mica, the 2017 recipient of the award,
commented on the legacy of Herbert M.
Davidson. “It is named
for the late Herbert
M. Davidson, former
publisher of the Daytona
Beach News-Journal.
Davidson was a
community leader, a
business leader, a journalism
pioneer, a civil
rights leader, a patron
of the arts, and a philanthropist.
His legacy
and that of his family
continues to impact
the community. To say that it is an honor to
receive this award is an understatement.”
Following the Lohmans leadership example
is the recipient of the Community
Foundation’s Young Leader Award, Nellie
Hosseini Lupoli. Nellie is Vice President of
Human Capital & Strategic Initiatives for
ICI Homes and a former Senior Financial
Analyst for Amazon. She earned bachelor’s
and master’s degrees in business and accounting
at the University of Michigan and an

of Iranian Americans.
Locally, Nellie is the Vice Chair of the

on their Finance Committee. She serves on
the Boards of Directors of the Daytona Regional
Chamber of Commerce, Team Volusia
Economic Development Corporation,
Tomoka Community Development District,
and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s
Eagle Athletic Association. Nellie previously
served on the Forbes Real Estate Council, as
Treasurer of the Hope Place Building Committee
and as member of Halifax Health’s
