Alice L. Ruszczyk, 84, of Pittsburgh, PA passed away on July 30, 2025. Born on June 19, 1941 she is the daughter of the late Peter and Martha Manfredo.

Loving mother of Jeffrey (Amanda) Ruszczyk; Beloved sister of Peter Manfredo, Susan Shurmatz, and David Manfredo; Grandmother of Zachary and Rebecca Ruszczyk; She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her siblings, Raymond and Albert Manfredo.

Alice looked forward to her weekly visits with her son's family, where she shared stories, laughter, and her famous home-cooked meals. She loved her trips to the casino with her brother David and close friends, where the slot machines and good company made for some of her favorite days.

Every morning began with a phone call to her best friend Rosie-an unbreakable tradition filled with laughs and love. She also enjoyed bowling with her league, catching a good show, and staying active in her community by volunteering at the election polls. She gave her time, her heart, and her energy generously-and in doing so, built a life full of connection and meaning.

All arrangements were entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation and Funeral Care.
