George A Brower

COLUMBIA – George Andrew Brower, III, 86, was born on April 5, 1926; he went to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ on Wednesday, April 25, 2012.

George served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II and later began preparing for an Engineering profession. However, after coming into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he felt called to full-time service to the One who had redeemed him. He attended Shelton College in NYC before coming to Columbia to complete his degree at Columbia Bible College (CIU). He then served as a missionary in Latin America.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, E. Anita Brower and seven children, Anita Marcy (Jonathan), George Brower IV (Gail), Tom Brower (Manuela), Steve Brower (Louise), Jo Anne Wideman (Craig), Miriam Davis (Chuck) and Amy Galdamez (Michael); 24 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
