Mildred “Mickey” Martich, 93, of Weirton, WV, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 19, 2025.

May her memory be eternal.

Born November 7, 1931, in Weirton, she was one of three daughters born to Joe and Milica Divich Wujnovich.

Mickey married Korean War veteran, George Martich, with whom she shared 65 wonderful years until his passing on October 20, 2018.

George served as the Vice President of the former Bank of Weirton and Mickey cared for their home.  Together they were blessed with two sons, four grandchildren and a great grandson.

In addition to her parents and her husband, Mickey was preceded in death by her sisters, Smiles Zarich and Jenny Musulin; and her niece, Melissa Rosato.

She will be remembered with love and admiration by her sons, John (Juka) Martich and Dr. G. Daniel (Lisa) Martich; grandchildren Milan, George (Monica), Aleksander, and Dr. Stephanie Martich; her great-grandson Gino George Martich; many nieces, nephews, Kumovi, and dear friends.

  9. John and Danny I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May she Rest In Peace

  10. Danny, John and Family,

    Our mother’s life-long friend was one of a kind. Our father would always say he knew when mom was on the phone with Mickey because there was so much laughter and they talked for over an hour (esp when they just were together the day before). My mother would say “it’s like we are still in high school” (esp. after HS reunions) and continued to have so much fun together. Their bond was deep and their memories grew from early childhood through aging. She was a constant in my mom’s life – kind, a true friend, and fun. May your love and memories of your mom get you through the loss.

    The John and Irene Grossi Family.

  12. Candle Selection 8Im really sorry to hear this. I didn’t know her long but I was blessed to be able to care for her at Woodland Hills Assisted Living. In the time I got to know her I grew to love her very quickly and she would tell me she loved me every evening I put her to bed. I looked forward to seeing her smile when I got to work. Even when she was having a bad day I would sing her the song “Oh Mickey your so fine your so fine you blow my mind hey Mickey” and she would get the biggest smile. I’ve missed her so much since the day she left. She will always have a special place in my heart. Rest easy Mick ❤️
