She was a kind and loving soul, full of life and a hard worker. She would give you the coat off her back, which she literally did as a child, with her mother then asking” Well now, what are you going to do for a coat?” Surviving is her loving son, Edward Allen Popovich, of Irwin; two grandchildren, J. P. Popovich of Masontown and Adele P. Keener of Savannah, GA; three great-grandchildren, all in Masontown, a brother, Danny Keener of Savannah, and two sisters, Brenda Maynard of Orrville, Ohio, and Diane Keltz of Medina, Ohio. Her husband, Edward Popovich, passed away in July of 2017. Also deceased is a son, Robert Dale Popovich, formerly of Masontown. The family will receive friends in the Richard R. Herod Funeral Home, Point Marion, on Saturday from 11AM until Noon. Private funeral services will follow at Noon with Pastor Kathy Griffith officiating.
