Stanley L. Ujcich

Age 92, of Malvern went home to be with the Lord Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at LifeCare Hospice in Wooster.

He was born August 23, 1925 in Malvern, Ohio to John Joseph and Antonia (Logar) Ujcich. Stanley was a graduate of Malvern High School and a member of St. Martin Lutheran Church in Malvern. He was a U.S. Marine Veteran, having served in China during WWII.  Stanley worked at Stark Ceramics in East Canton as a heavy equipment operator. He married his wife Iva Jane in Gatlinburg, TN on September 10, 1956.

Stanley was an inspiration to many people. Despite having lost both of his legs he still maintained an active lifestyle, splitting firewood with a wedge and sledgehammer from his wheelchair and tending a garden and mowing the lawn in the summer.

His family (and many others) remain eternally grateful for the wisdom he imparted during his time with them and will always remember the time spent outdoors watching the day go by and talking about life.

Stanley is preceded in death by his wife Iva Jane (Pariso) Ujcich, brothers Ed Ujcich and John Ujcich, and sister Mary Waugh. He is survived by a son Stan (Lori) Ujcich of Wooster and a grandson Brennan Ujcich.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, March 7th at 11:00 a.m. in the Gotschall-Hutchison Funeral Home in Minerva with Rev. Allen Hill officiating. Burial will be in Bethlehem Cemetery in Malvern with full military honors. Calling hours will be Tuesday, March 6th from 6-8 p.m. at the funeral home.
