Obituary for Alicia Marie Tamboia
Alicia Marie Tamboia, 24, of Wingdale, NY, died on Saturday, July 5, 2014 as a result of an automobile accident in Guilderland, NY. Born on February 20, 1990 in White Plains, NY, Alicia is the daughter of Lori Caponigro Tamboia of Wingdale, NY and the late William Tamboia, Jr.
Alicia was a lifelong Town of Dover resident, and a 2008 National Honor Society graduate of Dover High School who played on the softball, basketball and field hockey teams. She was also the Captain of the field hockey team during her senior year. She earned a B.A. from the University of Scranton in 2012 and was the captain of the field hockey team and manager of the men’s baseball team. As captain of the Scranton Field Hockey Team, Alicia organized events to raise money and awareness for domestic violence and breast cancer at her games. For this, she was recognized with the Ron Willensky Humanitarian award by the University of Scranton. Alicia was enrolled in a Master’s Degree program at Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL.
After graduation Alicia continued to raise money for a variety of charities including Pencils for Promise, an organization for underprivileged children that provides school supplies.
Alicia was an avid fan of Justin Bieber and dreamed of meeting him which she did several times. As his “Number One” fan, Alicia helped others obtain their dreams by purchasing tickets for the less fortunate and arranging “meet and greets” with Justin. Alicia enjoyed life to the fullest and liked to live in the moment.
In addition to her mother, she is survived by her brother, Jeffrey Tamboia of Wingdale, NY, her maternal grandfather, Leonard Caponigro of Fishkill, NY, her paternal grandmother, Catherine Tamboia of White Plains, NY, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
