Ivan Wehler Obituary

Ivan A. Wehler, 98, a resident of Pinecrest Manor and formerly of S. Michael Road, St. Marys, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 3, 2025, at Pinecrest Manor with his family by his side.

He was born on January 3, 1927 in St. Marys, PA, a son of the late Jost and Anna Caskey Wehler.
On June 16, 1945, he married the late Dorothy McAllister, who preceded him in death on August 3, 2024. Together they walked hand in hand into Heaven and were blessed to share more than 79 years of love, laughter and marriage.

Ivan was a lifelong member of Queen of the World Church and retired from Keystone Carbon Company after more than 46 years of service. He was a veteran of WWII, proudly serving in the United States Navy and was a member of the American Legion. A hard-working, dedicated and caring husband, father, and grandfather, Ivan often worked three jobs to care for his family. Ivan greatly enjoyed sharing his musical talents around town and with the residents of the local nursing homes, always enjoyed bringing a smile to people's faces.

He is survived by seven children; MaryLee (David) Struble of St. Marys, Karen (Jeff) Lapp of Mill Hall, Dora (Dan) Cunningham of St. Marys, Sandy (Roger) Schreiber of Jeanette, Pat (Georgia) Wehler of St. Marys, Dawn (Roy) Erhard of St. Marys, and Sherri (Doug) Pistner of St. Marys; and by 23 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren, and 31 great-great grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters; Velma O'Dell of St. Marys, and Corda Gray of Weedville, as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents and his beloved wife, Ivan was preceded in death by his son, Ivan Wehler, Jr., a son-in-law; Jerome Schaut, three grandsons; Matthew Schaut, Allan Schaut and Bobby Wurm, two brothers; James Wehler and Luke Wehler, and by three sisters; Grace Wurm, Irma Schat, and Verna Pelleschi.
