eloved Belinda L. Pike Dias, 57, of Bristol, Rhode Island, passed away on April 11, 2018. She will always be remembered by family and friends as a very caring, eccentric woman who would welcome anyone to her home and her dinner table. She had her arms open wide to those who needed a hug or someone to talk to.
She was a devoted wife, and leaves behind her husband of 35 years, Alan Dias, and her two children, Cassandra Dias and Zachery Dias. She was a loving, supportive mother. The four of them together have always been extremely close. “We may not have it all together, but together we have it all” was her favorite slogan of the Dias home.
Belinda was the daughter of Rosemarie Pike of Tampa, Fla., and the late William (Billy) Pike, and was the oldest of four siblings: Barbara Trombley of Pawtucket, R.I., Roseann Quaresma of Tampa, Fla., and William (Butch) Pike, Jr. of Bristol, R.I.
She was known as ‘Auntie B’ to her many nieces and nephews.
As a young woman she resided in Sandwich, Mass., Riverside, R.I., and Bristol, R.I. She worked in places such as Tweet’s Balzanos, James L. Maher Center, Opti-Jewel, Monroe Copies, and Wampanoag Golf Course.
In her spare time, Belinda had a love for the fresh outdoors and going camping. For over 10 years she carried a seasonal spot at Buck Hill campgrounds, sharing memories with her neighbors, her family, and her best friend around the campfire. She also enjoyed crafting, gardening, puzzle games, cooking, a good story, and was very devoted to God.
She was very loved and will be missed by all.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 21, at 12 p.m. at Smith Funeral and Memorial Services, 8 Schoolhouse Road, Warren, R.I., with visiting hours beforehand from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Burial and reception will follow privately.
