Grace "Dudie" Marie Fye

Grace “Dudie” M. Fye, 85, of Economy, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2025, at Good Samaritan Hospice in Wexford, PA, with her son by her side.

She was the daughter of the late Gerald G. and Grace L. (Groom) Fye. Grace was also preceded in death by her four brothers: Glen O., Gerald C., Gary A., and Gordon L. Fye.

Living to cherish her memory is her son, Paul G. Fye, and his wife Kim; her grandsons, Paul J. Fye and his girlfriend Olivia Davis, and Jason Schlott and his girlfriend Brittany Feltenberg; her sister, Gayle L. (Bill) Price; her brother, George R. (Pat) Fye; and her sister-in-law, Diane Fye. Also cherishing her memory is 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.

A proud graduate of Ambridge High School, Grace 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 and while 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 10, 2025, from 4:00 PM until the time of the funeral service at 6:00 PM 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.
