Lettie Runco

We are saddened to announce the passing of Lettie Arlene Runco on the morning of October 21, 2026, at the age of 83, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Lettie was a strong, independent woman who lived life much like her favorite song, Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” A devoted mother and woman of deep Catholic faith, she always made sure her family had what they needed. She enjoyed cooking, crocheting, watching old movies, and spending time with her loved ones.

She will be remembered for her clever, mischievous sense of humor and the unmistakable laugh that followed her perfectly timed remarks. Her love for her family was unwavering, and her presence will be deeply missed.

Lettie is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joesph LeFrancois and her daughter, Arlene Rouse. Those left to cherish her memory include her two grandchildren, Amanda and Jay Jr; her three great-grandchildren, Hailey, Kaylee, and Leia; and her son-in-law, Jay Sr.

May Lettie be reunited in Heaven with Joesph and Arlene, embraced by the love she carried in her heart throughout her life.

Lettie was deeply loved and will be dearly missed. May she rest in eternal peace.
