Mr. Fredrick Russell Fauth

Age 83

Northport Funeral & Cremation Service family extends our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Mr. Fredrick R. Fauth, who passed away on September 25, 2026, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Frederick Russell “Fred” Fauth, 83, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2026, at Hospice of West Alabama after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, surrounded by his loving family. 

Born to the late Frederick W. Fauth and Elizabeth Ann Farrell Fauth, Fred was the devoted husband of the late Sharon Fisher Fauth. He is survived by his daughter, Loretta “Lori” Rice; son-in-law, Keith Allen Rice; granddaughters, Morgan Drake and Sarah Rice; brothers, Dennis Fauth and Daniel Fauth; and sister-in-law, Linda Fauth. 

Fred was dearly loved by his family, especially his granddaughters, and he was completely devoted to them. Fred grew up in Pittsburgh and remained a devout Catholic and devoted Steelers fan throughout his life. He earned a degree in chemical engineering and a master’s degree in education, reflecting his lifelong interest in mathematics and science. Fred enjoyed a long career with Calgon Carbon Corporation and, after retiring, took pleasure in working with customers in retail. 

Fred moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 2014 while experiencing health challenges. There, he treasured being close to his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters. As his health declined, he received compassionate care at home and later at Moundville Health and Rehabilitation. His family is deeply grateful to the wonderful caregivers who cared for him throughout those years. Fred will be fondly remembered for his hearty appetite, his enjoyment of favorite movies, and his quiet, private nature. Above all, he was completely devoted to those he loved. 

A Funeral Mass will be held at Ascension Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 24, 2026. Burial will follow at St. Martin’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or Hospice of West Alabama.

The compassionate, sympathetic, and professional services of the Northport Funeral & Cremation Service team have been entrusted with Mr. Fauth's arrangements.
