George Charles Samus Sr., 98, passed away on July 14, 2019, in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he had resided since 2015.
George was born to parents John and Mary Samus on Aug. 8, 1920, in Marion County. He was the eldest of four children and graduated from high school in Point Marion, Pa. George married his high school sweetheart, Mabel June Klink, in November 1939, and they shared a loving and caring partnership for 79 years.
George served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, after which George and his father-in-law operated a coal mine in West Virginia until it closed in 1954. George spent the rest of his working life as an insurance agent.
George was a loving, caring father and a hard worker. His hard work enabled him to provide a college education for all three of his children. After retirement, George and Mabel enjoyed family, travel and their life together in West Virginia.
George is survived by his devoted wife, Mabel; sons, Charles and John; daughter, Roseann; three grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; two brothers; and many nieces.
The family would like to thank the caregivers from Hospice of Wichita Falls for all the kindness shown to George.
A private service and interment will be held later in Uniontown, Pa., conducted by Stephen R. Haky Funeral Home and Lunn’s Colonial Funeral Home.
