Edward G. Dudick Sr., 76, a resident of Wilkes-Barre, passed into eternal life on Monday evening, January 30, 2023, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township.

His beloved wife was the late Anna Lewis Dudick, who passed away on July 14, 2022. Edward and Anna were blessed to share nearly 51 years of marriage.

Born on June 14, 1946, in Passaic, New Jersey, Edward was one of five children born to the late Henry L. Dudick Sr. and Sophia Palka Dudick.

Raised in Sugar Notch, Edward attended local schools, before enlisting in the United States Army and honorably serving his country during the Vietnam War.

Prior to his retirement in 2011, Edward was employed for 40 years as a pipefitter by the former Air Products & Chemicals, Inc., Hanover Township.

A man of faith, Edward was a member of Wyoming Valley Presbyterian Church, Wilkes-Barre.

Edward has many enjoyments in life most especially enjoying every meal his wife cooked throughout their years together; coaching and umpiring Little League; attending his grandchildren’s activities and games; cheering on his favorite teams, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins; and going to events at the Kingston Senior Citizens Center.

Above all, Edward will be best remembered for the love and devotion he had for his wife, children, and grandchildren – they were truly the center of his life, and he cherished every moment he shared with them. Although he will be missed beyond measure, there is joy in knowing he is reunited in Heaven with his beloved wife, Anna, and all his loved ones who had gone before him.

In addition to his parents, Henry and Sophia, and his wife, Anna, Edward was preceded in death by his brothers, Henry “Hank” Dudick Jr., and Robert Dudick; and his sister, Deborah Ann Patronick.
