Alice Marie Pino, 64, of Santa Fe died November 15, 2023. She was born in Santa Fe to the late Jesusita Romero Pino and Nicolas “Nick” Pino, Sr. She was strong-willed, determined, and proud. One of her proudest moments was being selected Princessa of the 1980 Fiesta de Santa Fe. She continued to serve on the Fiesta Council for many years and was eventually elected Executive Secretary of the Board.
During her tenure on the Board of the Fiesta Council and while working full-time, she earned both her Bachelor and Master of Business Administration degrees from the College of Santa Fe. These accomplishments fueled a strong belief in higher education and led her to serve for several years as Adjunct Professor at New Mexico Highlands University. In addition to teaching, she served in many roles in her employment at St. Vincent Hospital and then with the State of New Mexico. She achieved retirement from the State in 2023.
Alice always put her loved ones before herself. Though her passions included cooking, dancing, laughing, and telling funny stories, she was probably best and most satisfied by being extremely generous with those she loved. She excelled at caring for her family, especially for both her parents and her brother prior to their passing.
Alice is survived by her siblings: Socorro Ortiz, Rita Vigil (Ruben), Carlos Pino (Judy), Marcella DiPalma (Brian), Felix Pino, Michael Pino, as well as her nieces and nephews: Joel Ortiz, Patricia Candelaria, Ruben Vigil, Jr, Richard Pino, Rebecca Pino, Sean DiPalma, Jessica DiPalma, Nick Pino, Felicity Pino, and Nicole Pino.
Alice was predeceased by her parents; infant sister, Fidelita Pino; brother, Nick Pino, Jr; nephew, Eugene Ortiz; nephew, Raymond Pino; and aunt, Juanita Rael.
A rosary for Alice will be prayed at St. Anne’s Parish on Monday, December 11, 2023 at 9:00am, followed by a funeral mass at 10:00am, with inurnment to follow at Rosario Cemetery.
Alice was a lifelong, devout believer in the miracles performed by Mother Cabrini. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Mother Cabrini Shrine, www.mothercabrinishrine.org.

To the family of Alice Pino, my sincerest condolences for your loss. I worked with Alice at St. Vincent for many years and enjoyed her company. Alice was extremely caring, generous and knowledgeable. Alice assisted me with my position and I always appreciated her. I replaced Alice in Personnel as the department was called then. Alice and I had a special bond as we both solved a work situation that today still makes me chuckle at her composure to the decision that we made that caused little to no attention, our secret! I would run into her shopping and she was always the same always greeted me with her huge smile and kind words. May Alice Rest in Peace. God Bless You All.
