BEAVER SPRINGS —  Larry G. Mowery, 60, of Beaver Springs, passed away at 3:35 p.m. Friday, March 15, 2013, at Manor Care, Sunbury.

He was born Oct. 8, 1952, in Lewisburg, a son of Phyliss B. (Iddings) Mowery, of Mount Pleasant Mills, and the late Nile H. Mowery.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by one daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer M. and Brandon Zeiders, of Beaver Springs; one son, Jonathan G. Mowery, of Lewisburg; five brothers and three sisters-in-law, Leonard Mowery, Wayne and Carole Mowery, Ronald Mowery and Harvey and Wanda Mowery, all of Mount Pleasant Mills, and Clayton and Wanita Mowery, of Mifflinburg; two sisters and one brother-in-law, Louise and David Bridge, of Mifflinburg, and Jean and William Poeth, of Potts Grove; many nieces and nephews; and his very close friend, Gene “Roy” DePhillips.

Friends and family will be received from 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday at the Hummel Funeral Home, 574 Hill St., Middleburg, followed by the funeral at 2 with the Rev. Alan K. Walter officiating.
