Family members said on Facebook that she lost her battle against Covid-19 - after frequently posting content protesting vaccines and labelling herself "unmasked and unmuzzled" and a "free thinker."
Lowery had made use of political borders for her profile photos, including one reading: "Unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid. Together we win."
Another read: "Free Thinker. Question everything. Research mandatory."
She also appears to have gone to a protest or anti-vaccine event holding a sign reading: "Give voice to the vaccine injured."
In the photo, she also wore a shirt proclaiming herself to be an "ex-vaxxer" and reading: "I trusted them. Never again."
Yet another photo was lined with a border reading 'Moms for Liberty.' Lowery was mother to four school-age children, Tayden, McKenna, Ella, and Ryenn.
But earlier this month, her sister, Cassie, wrote on Facebook that Lowery was "in the hospital fighting for her life against Covid and pneumonia."
"My sister has a long life left. We need you here, sissy. Your kids love and miss you so much. Please don't give up," she wrote.
She also warned that this wasn't "political" and she was uninterested in hearing anyone's opinions on vaccines.
Then, last week, two family members posted on Facebook that Lowery "died from Covid," with her aunt mourning that her "heart is breaking for her four kids."
"So many people need her here, but God must have special plans for her in heaven," her aunt wrote.
On a GoFundMe page that has raised over $11,000 for her funeral, a loved one also shared the new, which is "devastating to everyone that knew her."
"Kristen was a beautiful and amazing woman but more than that she was a phenomenal mother who always, ALWAYS put her children first," she wrote.
"She lived for her children (Tayden, McKenna, Ella, and Ryenn) and loved being their mother more than anything in her life.
"She was full of life and loved her friends and family fiercely. She was the kind of person that even if she didn't have anything she would give the shirt off of her back to anyone in need. She was everything that was good and kind.
"Her passing leaves a big hole in many of our lives and she will never be forgotten but will be greatly missed," reads the page.
Covid-19 has killed nearly 675,000 people in the U.S., and more than 4.5 million worldwide.
The vaccines authorized in the U.S. have been shown to significantly reduce the likelihood of severe illness, hospitalization and death from the disease.
And no evidence has established that said vaccine caused any deaths, let alone hundreds of thousands.
Benjamin Linas, professor of medicine and epidemiology at Boston University told PolitiFact in relation to celebrities spreading misinformation about the vaccine: "Yes, there are many people — thousands even — who have died within weeks or even days of getting a Covid-19 vaccine.
"That is because there are hundreds of millions of people in the U.S. and human beings are mortal," he explained.
