Alice Marie (Tobin) Prieto
On Monday March 25, 2024 Alice Marie (Tobin) Prieto, beloved mother of ten children passed away peacefully after a brief illness. Alice’s remarkable journey through life was exhibited by her unwavering devotion to family and faith. She found solace in life by embracing its joys and challenges with humor and grace.
Alice was born January 24, 1935 in Pittsburgh, PA to Thomas J. Tobin Sr. and Marie (Ainor) Tobin. Although Alice lost her parents at an early age she was raised by her wonderful Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Joe Ainor and always spoke fondly of her childhood with her three brothers and neighborhood friends. In September of 1954 Alice married Gilbert D. Prieto and they went on to raise their 10 children. Alice was a full time homemaker, while later working as a real estate agent, tax preparer and small business owner. Alice always demonstrated the importance of putting family first, by providing sound advice when her family faced challenges, and always being present when they needed her most.
Her maternal wisdom was only rivaled by her knack for finding divine solutions to everyday problems – from lost homework to missing socks, Alice taught her family the importance of trust in God and the novel power of “Jesus lost and found” as she helped them navigate their way in this world. Guided by faith, Alice’s rosary beads were her constant companion, and she credited them with keeping her youthful spirit alive despite the rigors of raising a lively brood. She also found a lovely community of support and faith with her lengthy association with The Catholic Daughters of America. A long-lasting resident of Nashua, she lived in the same house for 63 years and was a long time member of St. Christopher Catholic Church.
Alice leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and laughter that will continue to guide and inspire her children, 18 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and her many nieces and nephews. As we celebrate her life, let us remember her as the woman who showed us that even in life’s most challenging moments, a little laughter and a lot of faith can carry us through. Along with her lifelong friends, her family misses her dearly.
Funeral arrangements are with the Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home where flowers can be sent if so desired. Most especially Alice and her family request that Catholic masses be said for her by contacting your local Catholic church or contacting St. Meinrad’s Archabbey at www.saintmeinrad.org/mass-intentions
