It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marie DeCicco (nee Curry) on Friday, January 6th, 2023. Marie passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home in Langford, BC, after a brave and hard-fought battle with cancer. Marie was born and raised in Victoria, BC, and was the eldest of six siblings. She is survived by her husband Lou, her three daughters, four step-children, 11 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
Marie was a dedicated employee, working for 28 years at the provincial government in vital statistics. In her free time and after retirement, Marie enjoyed gardening, contributing to her church, travelling with her husband Lou, and spending time with her friends and family. She was also known for her love of preserving food from her and Lou’s garden. Marie was adored by many and will be deeply missed.
A service to celebrate Marie’s life will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC at 10:00 am on Monday, January 16th, 2023 followed by Entombment at Royal Oak Burial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Foundation in Marie’s memory https://bccancerfoundation.com/donations

Thoughts and prayers to all the family
Condolences to the whole family. Rest in peace Marie.
We were very sad to hear of Marie’s passing and send our condolences and prayers to Lou and the family. Marie always had a warm welcoming smile and she brought joy wherever she went. She will be missed so much at our small assembly, but we rejoice knowing that she is in the presence of the Lord.
We am so sorry to read about Marie. Our condolences to you at this time.
Marie was such a wonderful blessing to our ladies meeting, Power Walk, at Glad Tidings Church. Week after week she transformed a cold gym into an inviting beautiful place for women to fellowship. Always giving and smiling. What a joy to have Marie on the team. We rejoice for Marie’s homegoing to be with the Lord, but praying for you Lou, and family, who will miss Marie so much. love, Bev and Jan Egil
Marie will be missed so much, she was the best neighbour. Always engaging with my kids and giving them treats. She was always educating me on gardening tricks and sharing her wealth of knowledge. What a joy to have known her. Lou and family you are in our thoughts.
Dear Compare Luciano Our deepest heartfelt condolences to you and all the family. Marie was a beautiful gracious soul that touched so many of us that knew her. She was a sunbeam for Jesus. It is comforting knowing Marie is with Our LORD Jesus Christ our Creator and Saviour. We always enjoyed our visits at mom’s and dad’s house with you and Marie Sundays after church. You will be in our prayers Compare. We are kindred spirits love you forever and for always Manola, Bob and Sarah
We will all miss Marie terribly. Marie was a very important member of our Worship Assembly. Every week she brought flowers, candles, and food.
Her attendance with Lou brought joy to all our events. Marie’s presence in supplying flowers to our service, always made the place look like a wedding banquet. Marie not only left a hole in our hearts, but a huge crater. Marie was the sunshine of our assembly. We take pleasure in knowing she is enjoying the presence of the Lord.
We are so sorry to read of Marie’s passing, Lou. Our sympathy to you and your family.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the DeCicco family. Although we did not have the pleasure of knowing Marie we have heard of what a lovely, kind and caring lady she was. Our deepest condolences as she will be truly missed by her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
