Obituary for Alice Marie Falconi

Alice Marie (Pettenati) Falconi, of Ft. Lauderdale, formerly of Milton and North Falmouth, passed away peacefully July 9, 2025, at the age of 95.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Marino Joseph Falconi, her parents Joseph and Stella (Cella) Pettenati and her brother Robert Frederick Pettenati.

Alice was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother whose greatest joy came from time spent with her family. She leaves behind her loving children, Robert J. Falconi and his wife Constance, Jeanne F. Schmidt and her husband Robert, Debra A. Aylward and her husband Michael and Dianne Falconi Ratti.

She was also cherished by her 12 grandchildren: Cara Falconi and her spouse Jena, Todd Schmidt and his spouse Catherine, Jill Falconi, Joseph Schmidt and his spouse Kristen, Lisa Perfield and her spouse David, Michael Aylward and his spouse Charlotte Lewis, Alexandra Davis and her spouse Matthew, Kerri Besinger and her spouse William, Richard Aylward and his spouse Katherine, Jake, Dillon and Anthony Ratti. Her legacy continues through her 20 great-grandchildren: Ian, Jack and Thomas Falconi; Todd Jr. and Tyler Schmidt; Luke and Henry Mahady; Brodie and Brayden Schmidt; Anna and Lexi Perfield; Roselee Aylward; Cameron, Benjamin and Andrew Davis; Beau and Charles Besinger; Maverick, Austin and Jaxson Aylward. Alice also leaves behind her cherished niece and nephews.

Alice attended St. Gregory School in Dorchester before beginning her career at Paine Webber Jackson and the Boston Fish Pier. She later worked alongside her husband, Joe, in his business. She was a true partner in every sense – offering her time, guidance and sharp intuition. Her love was evident not just in words, but in her daily actions and deep presence.

Alice was an avid tennis and golf player and proud member of both Wollaston Golf Club in Milton and Pocasset Country Club in Pocasset. Alice and Joe were also passionate boaters and loved tuna fishing with family and friends.

She will be remembered for her grace, generosity and the thoughtful care she showed to everyone around her. Her kind heart, unwavering positivity and gentle spirit touched the lives of many. Alice’s legacy will live on in the love she shared and the family she nurtured.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in Our Lady of the Visitation Parish, Saint Elizabeth Church, 350 Reedsdale Road, Milton, Tuesday July 15, 2025 at 10:00 am. Family and friends are warmly invited to attend and celebrate Alice’s life. A private burial will follow at Milton Cemetery.

    I came across your mother's obituary online and I wanted her family to know that I remember her from years ago when my mother, Alice Falconi Kelly would sometimes stay with the three (at that time) children when your mom and dad traveled. Your mother was always so kind, warm and welcoming to us children when we visited. I also remember your parents coming to my wedding in 1980. You were all blessed with such special parents. Very painful when we lose those we hold so dear. What an amazing legacy your parents have left. Peggy Kelly Yuse (Alice Falconi Kelly's daughter)

    Our hearts are sad yet grateful for having known Alice. Words are inadequate to express how she and Joe enriched our family. Alice's kindness ,warmth and welcoming smile , Joe's sense of adventure and love for the sea provided a stepping stone for our son to start his life's journey. We are grateful! Together Alice and Joe will always be remembered as the couple who in many ways brought life forward within our family. The Roper's at Fiddlers Cove

    Dear Falconi Family, both Patrick and I are so sorry for your loss. You had a beautiful ceremony; we were there with my father Ed and missed saying hello to you all. I'm glad that you were able to connect with my dad.. of course he and my mom Jeane thought the world of Alice and Joe and they shared so many good times together. I have many great memories of her as well, especially on their boat and at their place in Fort Lauderdale. She was a very special lady and we know she will be dearly missed.
