Edward "Ed" C. Ulevich, aged 89, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2024, at Liza's Place in Wheeling. Born on July 18, 1935, in Homestead, Pennsylvania, Ed was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who touched the lives of many throughout his life.
Ed proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to service and excellence. Following his military service, he embarked on a successful career as a Senior Purchasing Agent with Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, where he earned respect and admiration from both colleagues and friends.
Deeply rooted in his faith, Ed was a dedicated member of St. Michael Catholic Church, where he served as both a lector and an usher. His commitment to community service was evident through his membership in the National Management Association, American Legion Post 1, and the Ostomy Association of Wheeling.
A man of varied interests, Ed found joy in golfing and fishing. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Pittsburgh Steelers, passions he shared with many friends and family members.

He leaves behind his cherished wife, Kathy Ulevich; daughters Vicki Rowles of Sun Prairie, WI, and Sheri (Michael) Powell of Loveland, OH; sons E. Charles Ulevich, Jr. (Jill Canode) of Florence, KY, and Ben (Kelly) Ulevich of Southport, NC. He also leaves a lasting legacy in the hearts of his 20 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
