William “Ed” Kowalski, 82, of Clearfield completed his time on Earth and returned to the Lord in heaven. He passed away at his home, in the town where he spent his entire life, Clearfield.

Over the course of his lifetime, Ed, held many positions in the community. He attained certification as an electrician from Triangle Tech in DuBois, PA. Ed was a former employee of Harbison Walker. He worked as a plumber, electrician, and was a trained sawmill worker.
Of all the positions Ed held over his lifetime, none could compare to the care and love he provided for his family. He was a devoted husband and a loving father and grandfather.
In addition to his parents, Ed was preceded in death by his wife; and sisters, Betty Jane Houser and Mary R. “Sis” Dickson.
He is survived by three daughters; Christine (Kowalski) Miller and husband Joe of Westover, Dr. Brenda (Kowalski) Elensky and husband Richard of Fresno, CA, and Victoria “Vicki” Kowalski and her fiancée Robert H. “Preach” Williams of Clearfield; four grandchildren, Stefan, Dathan, Sarah, and Rachel Elensky; and one sister, Dorothy Croft of Woodland.
