Obituary of Licia Dodok

Dodok, Licia (nee Lanzellotti)

A resident of Chatham, Licia passed peacefully surrounded by her family at the Chatham-Kent Hospice on Monday, January 22, 2018 in her 61st year after a courageous 10 year battle with cancer.

Licia was the daughter of the late Luca & Santina Lanzellotti. 

Devoted wife of 32 years to Michael Dodok. 

Loving mother of Christina Walker (Brandan) of Mississauga, Matthew Dodok & Nicholas Dodok, both of Chatham. 
Nonna of Peyton. 

Sister of Louisa Pilfold (Randy) of Vancouver & Leah Lanzellotti of Abbotsford. 

Missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family & friends. 

Born in Prince Rupert, BC, where she began her teaching career. After meeting & marrying Mike, Licia moved to Kent County where she continued her love of teaching as a Resource Teacher for the St. Clair Catholic School Board. Licia loved to garden, travel, and had a love for nature. Her love for nature was shown by helping Mike with the family farm & apiary. She also had a love for reading and enjoyed getting together with her Book Club Friends. She was a devoted Parishioner of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church & a member of the Catholic Women's League.  

Licia was a strong & inspirational wife and mother, who never gave up & fought to the very end. 

The family would like to extend their sincerest appreciation to the staff & volunteers at the Chatham-Kent Hospice, the wonderful nursing staff at the Oncology Department at the CKHA with a special thank you to Dr. Melissa Johnston.
