Maria (Ria) Angela Alexandria Licandro-Dicks
March 31, 2023
After a long and courageous battle with cancer, it is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Maria (Ria) Angela Alexandria Licandro-Dicks on March 29, 2023, at the age of 29 years.
Ria leaves to mourn her husband Justin, her daughter Anastasia, parents Vincenzo and Theoni Noula Licandro, sister Gina (Daniel), grandmother Georgia Begleridis, father-in-law Vincent Dicks, mother-in-law Tammy Dicks, sister-in-law Sierra (Nick), brother-in-law Kyle (Jenelle), along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Ria was predeceased by her grandparents Athanasios Begleridis (Georgia), Francesco Licandro, Maria Angela Licandro, John Elliot (Donna) and Douglas Dicks (Merle).
Ria was born on March 9, 1994 in Winnipeg, Manitoba into a large Greek and Italian family.
As a young child, Ria was very adventurous and was never afraid to try new things. She loved swimming, playing soccer, kickboxing and dancing. She also had an interest in learning new languages, knowing four by the age of twelve.
Ria graduated as an honour roll student from Shaftesbury High School in 2012.
She followed her passion of teaching by finishing two degrees at the University of Manitoba. Graduating in 2020 and becoming a French teacher at École Voyageur School, she taught kindergarten and helped with all other ages. Ria was an inspiration for her students and fellow colleagues as she shared her love and shaped the lives of those around her.
When she met Justin, she instantly knew she had found her soulmate. Having many of the same interests, they enjoyed life to the fullest. The summers were filled with bonfires, kayaking, quadding, and enjoying the outdoors with family and friends. They happily got engaged on May 17, 2019 and were married June 12, 2021.
Ria and Justin also loved travelling, which included trips to Europe, Punta Cana, and throughout many parts of Canada and the U.S. Together they lived one anothers’ dreams.
She had a strong love for all animals, so much that one day, her dream was to open an animal sanctuary with Justin.
Ria loved music and at any moment you could find her jamming out and singing along to her favourite songs. From rap to country, she loved many genres of music. Ria was always the loudest girl at the concert in the background belting out the songs.
At 27 years old, she gave birth to her daughter Anastasia, who was her pride and joy. There is nothing in the world that Ria loved more than spending time with her child. She was an exceptional mother. Even through the darkest days battling cancer, Anastasia’s smile was the light that made every moment worth fighting for.
Throughout her journey with breast cancer, she fought selflessly to give her family and friends around her every last bit of her love. Her utmost priority was protecting her family. She always had a smile on her face, never complaining, and always making light of her situation. Ria was a warrior, and fought until the very end.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to doctors Dr. M. Venditti, Dr. F. Shariff, Dr. M. Kristjanson, Dr. J. Johnston, Dr. C. Kim and Dr. M. DiBernardo for their continuous care and efforts in extending and giving her a better quality of life.
Funeral service will be held on Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 11:00 a.m., at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 2255 Grant Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, with Rev Fr. Nikolaos Tambakis presiding. Burial to follow at Glen Eden Cemetery.
