It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Marlene "Chickie" Cardoza, who peacefully left us on March 26, 2026. Born on July 23, 1942, Chickie lived her life in loving service to those around her, proving to be a beacon of kindness and grace.

Chickie was never one to seek the spotlight; her demure nature was one of her most endearing qualities. She was a woman of few words, but those she offered were always filled with love and wisdom. The lesson she instilled most deeply in those who knew her was to never give up - a principle she lived and breathed every day of her remarkable life.

Independent and strong-willed, Chickie blazed her own trail in a time when it was not common for women to do so. Being an independent woman was not just one of her greatest accomplishments; it was a testament to her unwavering spirit and tenacity. This determination, combined with her kind heart, made Chickie a role model to many.

Chickie leaves behind a legacy rich in love and resilience. Her legacy lives on in her loving family, who were always her first priority and greatest joy. Each member of her family, profoundly touched by her love and kindness, will carry her memory forward.

In the purity of her heart, Chickie taught us the true meaning of love, compassion, and the spirit of never giving up. Her life was a testament to these values, and she will be remembered for the light she brought into our lives. Chickie, you will forever be missed.
