Rikki Lynn Dingman

Rikki Lynn Dingman was granted her angel wings on the morning of Oct. 30, 2017. Born on March 16, 1975, she is survived by her beloved son, Marcus Duke; mother, Jean Dingman-Mitzimberg; father, Carl Mitzimberg; sister, Jami Mitzimberg; step-sister, Kristi Mitzimberg and many friends in the community who loved her.

The love for her son is so pure and special. It cannot be broken or reckoned with. It will remain unchanged by time and distance. It is the purest love — unconditional and true.

Miss Rikki’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her passion for Jeeps, making people laugh in the toughest of times, watching over the neighbourhood children and being a woman of determination; she would always find a way to help. A true Angel with a halo that shines so bright.

“When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. So, when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.” — Author Unknown.
