The Funeral Service for

Alice W. “Dolly” Caruso

August 15, 1935 + December 17, 2024

Latrobe, Pennsylvania

December 23, 2024

When someone dies, the church shares the grief of those who mourn

and remembers the brevity of life here on earth. We give voice to sorrow, thank God for the life of our loved one, and entrust this companion of ours

into the hands of God. Trusting in God’s promise in baptism that we are claimed by Christ forever, we rest in the sure hope of the resurrection.
