Eugene Miles

Eugene "Gene" Miles, 91, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and formerly Pelican Pointe in Venice, Florida, passed peacefully into the arms of God on Friday, August 11, 2023.

Gene served in the U.S. Army and earned a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Pittsburgh. He built a highly successful management career at both United States Steel and Westinghouse. Gene lived a full life with his wife by his side and always had time for his passions: traveling, serving the church, volunteering with non-profits, golfing, reading, playing pinochle and bridge, bird watching, and being with his big family.

As his family grew and spread across the country, Gene forever remained the patriarch, providing heartfelt advice and encouragement to all. We are confident that God welcomed Gene into his eternal home with, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Gene was predeceased by his parents John B. and Aniela (Nellie) (Lanowitz) Miles, and grandson, Tarik. Gene is survived by his most beloved wife of 69 years, Florence "Flo" Ann (Pavlakovic). Besides his wife, Gene is survived by children David (Amy) Miles, Diane (Keith) Fletcher, Nancy (Chris) Redgate, Maureen Turo, and Carol (Tom) Trent; grandchildren: Jeffrey, Gregory, Michelle, Elizabeth, Daniel, Lena, Joseph, Angela, Garrett, and Parker; as well as 15 great-grandchildren.

A Catholic funeral Mass will be held in St. Alexis Church (St. Aidan Parish) in Wexford, Pennsylvania at 10:00 am on Monday, August 21, 2023. Visitation will be at 9:15 am at the church. Private interment will follow in Good Shepherd Cemetery, Monroeville, Pennsylvania.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial donations be made to the American Heart Association at heart.org or PO Box 840692, Dallas Texas 75284, or the charity of one's choice.
