Mary-Aileen Rikardsen Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on November 23, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Mary-Aileen Rikardsen of Fox River Grove, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Mary-Aileen Rikardsen to show support.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Mary-Aileen may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Richard Blohm and Rosemary Blohm (Pieroni). She is survived by: her husband Yngvar; her sons, Lars Rikardsen (Allyson Nyhoff) and Kai Rikardsen; her grandchildren, Riley and Rhett Rikardsen; and her brothers, Ronald Blohm (Beatrice) and Gerald Blohm (Suzanne). She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (https://www.stjude.org) or The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
