Alicia Torres-Diaz Contarino, 42, of East Durham, was taken
by Angels to the kingdom of Heaven on August 7, 2023. She
was born November 13, 1980, in New Orleans Louisiana to
Carlos and Elizabeth Torres-Diaz. Alicia, a woman of strong
and powerful character devoted to family and community is
survived by her parents Carlos and Elizabeth; husband,
Anthony; brothers Carl and Christian; son, Nathaniel;
daughters, Jasmine and Norah; and her adorable pets.
Alicia's first years of infancy were lived in Louisiana, the
Military then moved the family to Orange County, New York.
Alicia graduated from Newburgh Free Academy and remained in
Orange County until she decided to move to a more secluded,
friendly, and close community (East Durham) to then marry
Anthony Contarino, a man who stood by her side during her
most difficult times. Alicia's great charisma and
personality impacted many lives in particular those in her
community in which she is loved dearly, she always had a
helping hand to lend without worrying about her own needs.
Alicia was loud and brave with an in-depth soul and huge
heart, she served as a great and powerful light on this
earth and universe. A legacy is left behind for others to
learn about what love, cohesion, unity and the sense of
community is, Alicia definitely leaves an unfillable gap in
the hearts of those who knew her. Forever loved Brujita
