Deborah Carmella Alesse (Carretta), age 59 of Upper St.Clair, passed away on Friday, February 15, 2013 at Family Hospice and Palliative Care in Mt. Lebanon after a courageous, six-year battle with breast cancer. She is survived by beloved and devoted husband of 35 years, Joseph; daughters, Lauren (Carl) Clark, Dr. Amber (Dr. Chris) Threadgill, and Shannon (Erich) Scheller; parents, Alphonse and Audrey Carretta; and brother, Daniel Carretta.
 
Deb enjoyed traveling with her husband and went on two trips to Europe. She also loved cooking, reading, sewing, crafts, gardening, and home projects, as well as spending time with her family. Walking in South Park with her dog, Mackenzie, was one of her favorite pastimes. She was a parishioner of St. Louise de Marillac Church. A cherished mother, wife, and daughter, she will never be forgotten for her selflessness, kindness to others, and devotion to her family. 
Friends will be received on Monday, February 18, 2013 from 2:00-4:00 PM and 6:00-8:00 PM at Cremation and Funeral Care by Danielle Andy Belusko, 3287 Washington Rd, McMurray, PA 15317, (724) 260-5546. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 10:00 AM at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 126 Fort Couch Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15241. Private burial will be held at Queen of Heaven Cemetery.

I was fortunate to have met Deb through work. She was one of the most selfless, honest, sincere, sweetest people I think I have ever met. She always had a kind word for everyone and was such a hard worker. She was so proud of her children and spoke about them and her husband all the time. I know she is at peace now. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and all of the people who loved her. You will be missed, Deb.

Our sincere sympathy goes to the Alesse and Carretta family. I never had the opportunity to meet Deborah, but from what I’ve heard she meant a lot to all she touched. May her memories be the comfort for her family, and close friends.

God Bless Deb, Joe and the girls..."The sun shines equally both on cedars and on every tiny flower, in the same way God looks after every soul. All is planned exactly as the seasons are so arranged that the humblest rose blossoms at the appointed time." St. Therese With deepest sympathy, Margaret Buban
