Pittsburgh - Age 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family with an angelic sendoff of nuns at her residence at Little Sisters of the Poor, on August 30, 2025. To know Ruth was to love her, and so many were touched by her positivity and generous spirit. Ruth loved to travel, and visited many parts of the world in her younger days. Ruth owned Aunt Ruth's Quilt Shop in Bloomfield, and worked as a bookkeeper at Fazio Mechanical, before retiring at age 75. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Clara Ley; her siblings, Fred and Chuck Ley and Clara Leo; and her dear friend, Ruth Hartman. She is survived by her nephews and nieces, Charles and Marilyn Leo, Edward Hartman, Kathleen Hartman, Nancy and Bill Smay, Linda Hartman and Dana Bell; her devoted caregivers, Joyce Kuhl and Jadwiga Tereszkiewicz; and many loved great-nephews, nieces and friends. Special thanks to the angels and heroes at Little Sisters of the Poor and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in Monroeville for their loving and amazing care. Friends will be received at Little Sisters of the Poor, 1028 Benton Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, on Tuesday, September 16, from 9 A.M. until 10:45 A.M., followed by a Mass of Christian Burial, at 11 A.M., in the chapel. Interment will be private at St. Augustine Cemetery in Shaler. Donations may be made in Ruth's memory to Little Sisters of the Poor or Animal Friends. Arrangements by JOHN A. FREYVOGEL INC.
