Alycia Ruffin

Alycia Ruffin was born on January 30th, 1963, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She passed away after a brief battle with cancer on December 25th, 2025.

She is preceded in death by her father, James E. Ruffin, mother, Shirley C. Ruffin, and brother, James E. Ruffin Jr. Alycia is survived by her brother, Roderick M. Ruffin, sisters, Kalisse (Sostenes) Parga and Christel Ruffin, and nieces, Takel (Travis) Shavers and Jennifer Ruffin.

Alycia enjoyed watching sports, playing cards, games, puzzles, and crocheting blankets for others. Her greatest joy was teaching people the positive message of truths found in the Bible.

We love and miss Alycia dearly and look forward to seeing her beautiful smile again in the near future.

We, Alycia's family, would like to express our sincere thanks to all the friends and their abundant expressions of love, concern, and kindness shown to us during this time of deep sadness.
