Irene Suhar

BOARDMAN - Irene Suhar, 95, passed away peacefully Wednesday evening, Nov. 25, 2020, at her home after a long and fulfilling life.

Irene was born Oct. 19, 1925, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late John and Emily Andres, and she was a lifelong area resident.

She attended South High School was a homemaker who also worked outside the home for American Paper / Postal Church on McClurg Road for over 30 years, retiring in the early 1990s.

Irene was a member of St. Stanislaus Church in Youngstown.

Irene enjoyed crocheting and jigsaw puzzles, and she was a big fan of the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians. Always one with a sweet tooth, Irene loved her sweets but never cared much for chocolate!

She leaves three daughters, Judy (Dan) Hendricks of Youngstown, Sheri (Joe) Belcastro, of Boardman, with whom she made her home for the past 30 years, and Andrea (Steve) Pavlak of Austintown; eight grandchildren, Eric (Patricia) Hendricks, Jon Hendricks, Sara Belcastro (Matt Waterbeck), Jason (Cara) Belcastro, Nicholas (Ashley) Belcastro, Megan (Justin) Oelgoetz, Ryan (Jennifer) Pavlak, and Sean Pavlak (Joanna Schnell); 16 great-grandchildren, Justin, Dominic, Ella, Zachary, Madilyn, Adalynn, Ignatius, Ekaterina, Penelope, Vander, Christopher, Brittany, Dillon, Jace, Mya, and Alaina; a great-great-grandchild, Rylie; and many nieces and nephews.

Her husband, Metro Suhar, whom she married in 1946, passed away in 1986. A brother, Anthony Andres; two sisters, Helen Wheland and Eleanor Mickler; and a grandson, Brent Hendricks, are also deceased.

Due to the current pandemic, there will be no calling hours or services at this time. A public celebration of Irene’s life will be held at a later date.

Please keep Irene and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
