Dulce "Margarita" Licker, passed away peacefully and suddenly at her home in Tampa, FL this Tuesday, April 9th 2024. Despite previous health challenges related to a series of strokes, her passing was a sudden and heartbreaking surprise to us all.  She was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the states as an adult where she would settle and spend most of her life. She is survived by her husband Douglas Licker and children; Yanira McCall, Mindy McCabe, Nelly Flaque, Jennifer Licker, and Jason Licker. She also leaves behind 8 grandchildren: (Yanira's children) Lauren Hensley, Savannah McCall, Sophia McCall and Micah McCall.  (Mindy's children) Vanessa McCabe and Olivia McCabe. (Nelly's children) Christian Flaque and Adrian Flaque. At home in the Dominican Republic, she is survived by her siblings: Dulce Quezada, Pedro Quezada, and Daisy Quezada Pena.

She was loved by so many and in her healthier years was the life of the party. Loved to entertain and cook for people. She would light up a room wherever she was. She touched the life of many people here and in her home country, the Dominican Republic.

She will be deeply missed by all.
