SAMUEL MARVIN LOWERY
Samuel Marvin Lowery was born on Nov. 7, 1944, in Clarendon County, a son of the late Willie Jr. and Mary Eva Epps Lowery. Sam attended the public schools of Clarendon County and was a member of Lodabar AME Church in his youth. In his former years, Sam was employed with the Jackson Brothers Scott & Ralph Jackson Farm for many years. He saw that life was leading him in a new direction, so he went into the heating and air business. "Trane," as everyone would called him, installed units for Palmetto Heating and Air, now named "Advance Heating & Air" for more than 35 years.
On Friday morning, July 5, 2019, Sam entered eternal rest at his residence.
