TOPSHAM — Dalina “Dee” A. Henrick, age 53, of Topsham, passed away at home surrounded by her family on Aug. 14, 2017.

She is survived by her daughter Becky Johnson of West Bath; daughter Billie Jo Brown of Phippsburg; brother John Gallagher of Westbrook; sister Cheryl Baggett of Topsham, and sister Windy Gallagher of Harpswell. Dalina has four grandchildren, three nephews and three nieces.

She is predeceased by her mother, Elizabeth “Lilly” (Tanael) Gallagher of Bath; and father, John Gallagher of Peoria, Ariz.

Dee was born in Oceanside, Calif., and moved to Maine in 1976. She lived life to the fullest and made everyone around her laugh and feel loved. Dalina was an amazing friend and sister.

She enjoyed bartending for many years and eventually found her love for cooking for those she loved. Dee spent several years traveling the U.S.A. as a Navy wife. Her adventures brought her to Hawaii, Nevada, Connecticut, Virginia, Florida and Rhode Island where she explored the local flavor and immersed herself fully as though she was a local herself.

Everywhere Dee lived, she made lifelong friends. Her witty sense of humor brought incredible joy to the people she knew. Over the last few months at the hospital, her doctors and nurses never left her room without a huge smile. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to help the family with funeral costs: Dalina Henrick Memorial Fund, c/o Cheryl Baggett, 29 Westwind Drive, Topsham, ME 04086.

A memorial service will be held for Dalina at a future date.
