Louise Ucman (nee Pasich), 98, passed away on Tuesday morning, August 30, 2022 at Gardenview Assisted Living where she had been a resident for the past three years. She was born in Calumet on August 7, 1924, a daughter of Peter and Louise Pasich. Louise married Rudolph (Rudy) Ucman of Calumet on November 25, 1950. The couple resided in Calumet for their entire marriage with time, also, spent at Gratiot Lake. They were proprietors of the Calumet Laundry and managed for a time the Calumet Theater. Louise was a “Daughter of the Copper Country” spreading the values she learned all her life to her family’s succeeding generations. She was preceded in death by her parents, Peter in 1948 and Louise in 1958, her husband, Rudy, in 1989, brother Peter and sisters Katherine Schaltz, Christina and Irene Pasich.
