Sylvia A. Testa

Sylvia A. Testa, 90, of Economy, peacefully entered eternal rest on June 2, 2026, the same date she and her beloved husband, Eugene, exchanged wedding vows seventy years earlier on June 2, 1956. She was the cherished daughter of the late John and Helen Serak.

In addition to her parents, Sylvia was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Eugene P. Testa, who passed away in 2005; and her siblings, Albert Serak and Margaret Pajak.

She leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory, including her children, Eugene H. (Darlene Pinchot) Testa and Linda (John) Germ; grandchildren, Bryan (Abby) Testa, Tara (Mike) Rittelmann, Ally Germ, Ryan (Lily) Hudacsek, and Kelsey Hudacsek; great-grandchildren, Hudson, Maddox, Lucas, Brenna, Leo, and Iris; and a sister-in-law, Doris (Ted) Gerhardt. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and her extended family at Villa St. Joseph in Baden.

A graduate of Ambridge High School, Sylvia continued her education at Pittsburgh Secretarial School before beginning her career as a secretary with Karnavas Vending Company. She was a devoted Catholic and a faithful member of the former Christ the King Church in Ambridge, now St. Luke the Evangelist Parish.

Sylvia was known for her warm and welcoming spirit. At Villa St. Joseph, she made it her mission to greet new residents, helping them feel at home by inviting them to Bingo and other activities. She was a talented baker whose homemade cookies became a family favorite and was a dedicated fan of Pittsburgh sports teams. Above all, Sylvia treasured time spent with her family and found her greatest joy in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Family and friends will be received on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation, LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge. Departing prayers will be offered on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the funeral home, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 AM at Good Samaritan Church, St. Luke the Evangelist Parish, 725 Glenwood Avenue, Ambridge. Interment will follow at Economy Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Villa St. Joseph Activities Department, 1030 State Street, Baden, PA 15005, in Sylvia's memory. Sylvia especially enjoyed playing Bingo and shopping in the resident store, and her family feels this would be a meaningful way to honor the activities that brought her so much joy.

The family would also like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Villa St. Joseph for the compassionate and loving care they provided to Sylvia throughout the past six years. Their kindness, dedication, and friendship brought comfort not only to Sylvia, but to her entire family.
