Lois Ash Metlika
METLIKA: Lois Ash Metlika, 86 years old, passed away on July 20, 2023, in Jacksonville, Florida. Lois, “Libby,” originally from Pittsburgh, moved to Miami, Florida, when she was in her early 20s. In 1993, she moved to Jacksonville, Florida, to be closer to her family. Libby remained part of the “Steeler Nation” her whole life. She watched every game she could, waving her “Terrible Towel.” Some of her favorite things included cruises, horse racing, telling stories of her childhood in Squirrel Hill, chatting with friends on Facebook, the Hallmark Channel, and British television and movies. In 2013 she traveled throughout England where she toured all the places she only dreamed of seeing her whole life. It was a trip of a lifetime and one of the happiest times of her life. Lois is predeceased by her parents, William and Sadie Ash, her sisters, Esther, Ruth, Rebecca and Sarah, and her brother Emanual. She is survived by her children, Mark (Fran), Brian (Cindy), Jodi (Ira) and Andrea, her five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and her brother Irv. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to the Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville. PJC
