Jerry Andrews 1941-2025

Jerry was born April 5, 1941, in Youngstown, a son of the late Dorothy Andrews. He was a lifelong resident of McDonald.

Jerry dedicated 22 years to a fulfilling career with US Steel, later retiring from LTV Steel. His work ethic and commitment were a testament to his character, reflecting the values he held dear throughout his life.
