(Pat) Fye, her sister-in-law, Diane Fye, her best friend of 50 years and devoted caregiver, Joanne Bott, many beloved nieces and nephews, especially Vicki Young and Brandy Bufalini and her dear cousin and close friend, Alma Felger. 

Grace was a proud graduate of Ambridge High School who worked as a nursing aide at local psychiatric hospitals for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Affectionately known as “Dudie,” she was vibrant and full of laughter, often reminiscing about the good old days. She enjoyed Doo Wop music, trying her luck at the casinos, playing the lottery and spending time with loved ones. She had a heart for life’s simple pleasures like dinners out, poker nights, and getting her hair done by her dear friend and stylist, Cheryl Zender. She also had a deep love for her fur babies, past and present. 

A memorial visitation will be held on Thursday, April 10th, from 4 P.M. until the time of the funeral service at 6 P.M. at Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation, LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge. 

The family would like to express their extreme gratitude to the nurses at Good Samaritan Hospice for their excellent and compassionate care of Grace. Additional gratitude is extended to the nurses at Heritage Valley Sewickley CCU.
