John Ligush, Sr. was born on January 22, 1931 in Vitondale, PA.  He passed away peacefully on July 20, 2024 at the age of 93 in Harpers Ferry, WV.  He was 1of 7 children.  Sadly, his father passed away when John was an infant and he was raised by his single mother, who never remarried but kept the family together despite many hardships.  Being the youngest of 7 children John quickly learned about the importance of togetherness and hard work.  John finished high school early and began to work to help support the family.  He joined the Air Force and served between 1950-1954.  He rose to the rank of staff sergeant, serving during the Korean War.  After the completion of his military service John met and married Melva Mrdjenovich on June 6, 1958.  He was the proud father of 2 sons, Daniel and John, Jr., and father-in-law to their wives, Amy and Donna. Perhaps the most fulfilling part of John's life was his family.  He was a devoted father and a role model to his children.  He was also the proud grandfather of 5, Matthew, John Paul, Joseph, Annie, and Benjamin.  John will be remembered as a hard-working, generous, and caring man who will be sorely missed by all of those who knew him.

Services will be held Friday, July 26, 2024 at 10:00 A.M. at Eackles-Spencer & Norton Funeral Home, 256 Halltown Road, Harpers Ferry, WV.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, July 25, 2024 6P.M.-8P.M.
