November 20, 1934 – May 10, 2025
Pittsburgh, PA • Age 90
Alice May Foy passed away peacefully on the morning of May 10, 2025, surrounded by her beloved family. At 90 years old, she was finally able to rest—a full-circle moment of grace after a life devoted to motherhood, where she often confessed that she hadn’t truly slept since becoming a mom. In her final moments, she ascended magically.
A proud Homestead native, Alice was the royal Highness of her family—iconic, legendary, and deeply loved by her nine completely unique and talented children. She was affectionately known as “Ma,” and carried many titles with honor: mother, ranging from grandmother to great-great-great-grandmother, wife, and friend.
After raising her children, she entered the workforce, taking on various roles—including a position at the Pittsburgh Courier—and was deeply respected for her work ethic and unwavering spirit. A true “domestic PhD engineer”, Alice balanced family and faith with unmatched grace and love.
She was preceded in death by her husband Julius Foy Sr. and now joins him in eternal peace.
Visitation will be held at Second Baptist Church, 108 W. 12th Avenue, Homestead, PA 15120, on Friday, May 23rd from 4pm – 8pm.
Her Homegoing Celebration will take place at the same location on Saturday, May 24th at 11am.
Interment to follow at Monroeville Restland Cemetery.
Arrangements entrusted to Jones Funeral Home and Shanell Lamere Films.
