December 22, 2020

Edward John Lewkowicz, born June 10, 1944 in Pittsburgh, PA to Frank and Agatha Lewkowicz. Youngest of six children he grew up in Lawrenceville before marrying the love of his life, Joanne Matoney. Ed served his country through the Army National Guard, and enjoyed a career as Produce Manager for Giant Eagle and then as an Inspector for OK Grocery. Ed will be remembered there for his frequent practical jokes and sense of humor. In 55 years of marriage, Ed and Joanne raised three children, Ed (Wathina), Scott (Dallena), and Carrie (Greg) Quint, and very much enjoyed their seven grandchildren, Brittany, Sarah, Michael, Emily, DJ, Jenna, and Katie.  They enjoyed summer vacations at the beaches and at Deep Creek, as well as regular family get togethers. Ed enjoyed remodeling his house, helping others with theirs, spending time with his wonderful neighbors, but truly cherished time with family. Ed was active at Calvary Baptist Church in Irwin, serving as an usher/greeter and dinner volunteer, and loved his church family. He and Joanne also volunteered for Meals On Wheels. Ed had a personal relationship with his savior Jesus Christ, and because he accepted the free gift of salvation through faith in Christ, he was welcomed into Heaven on the morning of December 22,2020 after a two-week battle with COVID. Ed’s family thanks the professionals at Forbes Hospital for the quality care he received, and for the many outpourings of support and prayers offered by friends and family. Ed was preceded in death by his parents and sisters Joanne, Vern, and Rose, and is survived by his brothers Frank (Sally) and Jerry. Friends and family will be received on Sunday, December 27, 2020 from 1-6 p.m. at the GENE H.
