Licare, Darlene L. (nee Ortmann) Thursday November 20, 2025. Beloved wife of Richard V. Licare. Dear mother of Rick (Jeanie) Licare, Todd (Tonia) Licare, Tony (Laura) Licare, Shawn Licare and Angelo (Jennifer) Licare. Dear sister of Gary (Jane) Ortmann and Cherial Reckart. Our dear grandmother, great grandmother, sister-in-law, aunt, great aunt, cousin and friend.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the charity of your choice appreciated.
My Aunt Darlene dedicated her life to her family. She was a light who sparkled in every room she entered—always beautiful inside and out. Her beauty shone through her actions, her words, and the love she poured into everything she did.
I will always remember the many Christmases and Thanksgivings she hosted with such care. From the décor to the food, every detail made her family feel loved. She was always stylish, and her makeup was flawless no matter the occasion.
Aunt Darlene was devoted to raising her sons and did her very best to guide them. When she became ill, I cannot imagine the whirlwind of emotions she must have felt, yet she carried herself with grace despite circumstances beyond her control.
She has always been someone I deeply admired—from her classy style to her finishing touches that made her uniquely her. We will miss her giggle, her thoughtfulness, and her presence in our lives.
God has gained a diamond among His angels, and I know she will continue to look down on her family with love.
Sarah & Family
