Mary "Jean" Kevech's Obituary
Mary Virginia "Jean" Kevech, 84, of Monongahela, passed away unexpectedly in the emergency room at Jefferson Hospital on Thursday, December 28, 2017 due to a cardiac event. She was born October 22, 1933 in Library, the daughter of the late Louis and Cecelia Sweezy Gricar. She was the youngest of eight children and the last to pass away of that generation. Preceding her in death were five brothers, Louis, Joseph, Robert, Edward and Frank Gricar and two sisters, Ella Gricar Vitoria and Anna Gricar Bastich. In addition to her parents and siblings, she was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Frank "Pops" Kevech Sr. and son in law, Chris Amos.
Surviving are four children, Elaine Kevech Amos, David (Misty) Kevech, Frank (Carol) Kevech, Jr., Stanley (Pam) Kevech, all whom reside in the Mon Valley; nine grandchildren, Bethany (Anthony) Burney, Kevin (Sherry) Kevech, Justin Kevech, Danny (Nikiesha) Kevech, Dylan (Danielle) Kevech, Devin Kevech, Jennifer (Tim) Timko, Jessica (Frank) Crockard and Joshua (Jenny) Kevech; eight great grandchildren, who were the loves of her life, Andrew Timko, Christianna Burney, Dylan, Austin, Jocelyn and Denver Crockard, Miranda Kevech and just born this past December, Jeremiah Kevech; numerous nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
Jean graduated from Charleroi High School, class of 1951.

During her lifetime she worked several other jobs including owner of Frank and Jean's Restaurant in Monongahela and Corning Glass in Charleroi where she retired after 17 years of service.
