A licia Minton of Boynton Beach, Florida, formerly of West Nyack, New York, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 2, 2022. She was 91 years old.

A licia was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico in 1931. She moved with her family to New York City in her teens and graduated from George Washington High School in New York City.

A licia was a passionate miniaturist and her expertly crafted miniature rooms and dollhouses were exhibited in New York at The Rockland County Historical Society, The Bear Mountain Inn Holiday Exhibit and several local libraries. Her homeland of Puerto Rico was always near and dear to her heart.
