Publish in a newspaper

Alice Emilia Benoit, beloved wife, mother and Memere, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 2, 2025. Born in Taftville on November 20, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Alfred and Fabiola Chaput. Alice spent nearly her entire life in Taftville before moving with her cherished husband, Leo, to Mystic Healthcare and Nursing Home. On December 26, 1953, at Sacred Heart Church in Taftville, Alice married the love of her life, beginning a lifelong partnership filled with love and devotion.
Alice was pre-deceased by her husband, Leo. She is survived by her daughter Sandra Silva and husband Larry of Lisbon; daughter Diane Ducharme and husband Glen of Bozrah; son Daniel Benoit and wife Terri of Norwich; daughter Paula Sinko and husband Steve of Salem and son Paul Benoit of Taftville. Her memory will live on in her cherished grandchildren, Chrystal Ruley, Ellis Ruley, Aimee Vetter, Kelly Turkington, Jennifer Benoit, Amanda Strickland, Stephanie Guertin, Kara Sinko and Kayla Sinko and her adored great-grandchildren, Phoebe Vetter, Zane Vetter, Cole Turkington, Layla Turkington, Bradley Strickland, Madison Strickland and Brody Peterson.
Alice and Leo shared a devoted bond for more than 71 years, cherishing every moment with their family and friends. Alice devoted her time caring for her family, raising five children and spending time with her grandchildren. A lifelong parishioner of Sacred Heart Church, she dedicated countless hours volunteering for the parish and the school. She found fullfillment in teaching Vacation Bible School in the summers and great joy singing in the Sacred Heart Choir for many years.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but we are comforted knowing she is re-united with her husband and loved ones and now rests in the eternal peace of the Lord.
The family will receive family and friends from 5 to 7 pm on Thursday, October 9, at the Godere-Guillot Funeral Home, 21 North 2nd Ave in Taftville. Funeral services will be held at 10:00am on Friday, October 10, at Sacred Heart Church, 156 Providence Street, Taftville.
