Samuel Lee Willow, 62, of 1810 Ridge Rd., since 1974, died unexpectedly on Saturday, January 7, 2012.
He was born October 29, 1949, in Lewisburg, son of George and Ella (Brouse) Willow of Mifflinburg. On February 8, 1969, in St. Paul's United Church of Christ, Urban, he married the former Carol Anne Lesher.
