Publish in a newspaper
Born and raised in Monaca, Edward, son of the late Harry and Hazel (Cain) Dierdorf. He attended Monaca schools and fostered a lifelong love for baseball. This passion for the sport was evident in his younger days as a talented pitcher and later as a respected coach for Little League, Pony League, Legion League, and high school baseball teams.
A hardworking and proud steel worker, Ed devoted many years to Colonial Steel in Monaca. Outside work, he continued to enjoy the camaraderie through his active involvement in the Colonial Steel Golf League and the Center Vets Golf League, where his love for golf was as evident as his love for baseball.
Ed's life was enriched by his beloved wife, Margaret (Waxler) Dierdorf, and their three children, Edward (Dayna) Dierdorf, Eric (Janice) Dierdorf, and Anne (William) Dwyer. His joy was further multiplied by his grandchildren, Daniel (Morgan) Dierdorf, Heidi Dierdorf ( Michael), Scott (Alexa) Dierdorf, Hayley (Jacoby) Miller, and Kurt Dierdorf and his fiancée Brooke. His great-grandchildren, Austin Gallagher, Bexlee and Axel Miller, Mikey, and Maverick Hall, brought him immeasurable happiness. Ed was also survived by a brother, Harry (Susan) Dierdorf, and his sister, Shirley Turkovich. Edward was preceded in death by his parents and his brother-in-law, Joe Turkovich.
Ed was a member of North Branch Presbyterian Church and his love for animals was evident through his affection for dogs and cats, which brought additional warmth to his home and life.
