Cardinal, Agnes
Agnes Cardinal - Pueblo Chieftain - July 20, 2003 - Agnes Cardinal, at the wonderful age of 93, died in Pueblo, July 17, 2003, where she was born and raised. She grew up on Currie Street with her parents, Giuseppe and Maria Costanza; and brothers and sisters, Frank, John, Charles, Jean and Josephine, who have already passed, and Rose Snead and Sr. Mary Theophane who are still with us. She passed over to meet her husband, Sam R. Cardinal, who died in 1977. Agnes was a joyful and positive person who was always counting her blessings. The first among these were her three fine sons that she and Sam raised, and their families, Dave Cardinal and his wife Marianne of Pueblo, Bob Cardinale and his wife PJ of Santa Fe, N.M., and George (Sam) Cardinale and his wife Julie of Petaluma, Calif. Unconditional love of her sons and their nine remarkable children, and equally remarkable nine great-grandchildren, is just one of the reasons why Agnes will be remembered. Remarkable was a word she used a lot in taking total joy in her family. Very memorable as well were her wonderful flat Italian waffle-like cookies called pizzelles. Friends and family alike could count on a box of pizzelles for the trip home after a visit to her house. She thrived on breaded pork chops, stuffed artichokes and always had a stash of jelly beans in a drawer by the front door for herself and anyone else. The jelly beans gave her the energy to work in her yard every day and to edge her lawn with a pair of scissors. Her generosity was legendary and her husband's shop, Sam's Floor Covering, provided many kitchen floors and carpets for the residences of nuns and priests of Pueblo and especially Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City, Colo., for which she had a special attachment. One had to be very careful in admiring anything in her house because she would immediately try to give it to you. This was her way of living her philosophy of giving people her flowers when they could see and smell them. Many people have been, and continue to be, the recipients of her flowers. In addition, she will always be remembered for her simple, straightforward and loving way of saying things. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, you consider making a contribution to the Pueblo Community College Foundation, 900 W. Orman Ave, Pueblo, CO 81004, in her name. A Memorial service will be held at the T.G. McCarthy Funeral Home, 329 Goodnight Ave. at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20, 2003, followed by a joyful wake at the Shrine of St. Therese for friends and family. There will be a funeral service at the Shrine of St. Therese at 10 a.m. Monday, July 21, 2003. Interment, Roselawn Cemetery.

Cardinal, Annette M.
Annette M. (Niccoli) Cardinal - Pueblo Chieftain - July 25, 2004 - Annette M. (Niccoli) Cardinal, a very young 94, passed away quietly on July 22, 2004, following a brief illness. Preceding her were her beloved husband, Robert (1988); parents, Mary and Michael Niccoli; sisters, Josephine M. Kendall, Inez and Josephine Niccoli; and brothers, Joseph, John, Charles "Sid", Victor "Vic" and Albert "Barney" Niccoli. Left behind to cherish Ann's memory are her loving daughter, Cindy (Tom) Haulik; granddaughters, Amy and Sara, all of Alpharetta, Ga.; brother, Frank (Wanda) Niccoli of California; sisters-in-law, Blanche, Clara and Geri Niccoli; adored nieces and nephews of Pueblo, Anita L. "Skip" Kendall (with whom she lived with nearly the past six years); Ronald and Connie, Jim "Bud" and Kay, and Paul W. Kendall; many more nieces, nephews, great-and great-great-nieces and-nephews, whom she loved dearly. Ann was born in Crested Butte, Colo., on Nov. 28, 1909. She knew many hardships, but managed to live a full, happy and extremely productive life. She spent the better part of her adult life in Fountain Valley, Calif., until moving to Pueblo in October of 1998 to live with her sister Josephine. To say that Ann was generous, thoughtful, selfless, kind and beyond creative would be a gross understatement. There are no words to describe her and how many many lives she has touched. She was an angel before her passing. Ann's hands and mind were never idle. She was planting flowers, redecorating something, and constantly sewing, crocheting or quilting something to her last days, and always for someone else. Up until the time she moved from Fountain Valley, Ann was involved with the Girl Scouts, the Friends of the Library, the Fountain Valley Historical Society, the Women's Quilting Club, and the Fountain Valley Women's Club, and surviving family member of the SS Russell naval ship each of which she held several official titles. These clubs and activities were her life and to leave them behind was a very traumatic experience for her; for these loving people she left behind were all like family to her. And to her last day, she spoke of them fondly. Ann leaves a legacy behind, which most of us only dream of and not just memories but material things. She has left us with hand-sewn quilts, which have won prizes at state fairs, hand-painted china plates, nick-knacks, and statuettes, embroidered and crocheted items we all hold so dear. There was absolutely nothing this pretty lady could not do if she wanted. She leaves a giant hole in the lives of the living, but fills a well-deserved space in heaven. Graveside services will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 27, 2004, at Mountain View Cemetery (enter west Acero gate). Monsignor Marvin Kapushion will preside. Please omit flowers and food. Donations may be made to the SRDA in Pueblo c/o the funeral home.

Born in Pueblo on May 27, 1938, he was not only raised in Pueblo, but also spent the majority of his married life there. In his youth, he attended St. Patrick's Catholic School, Central High School, and then completed his education at University of Southern Colorado, after returning from the service. For the last 18 years, Bill and his wife, Jody, have resided in Penrose, Colo. He is survived by his wife of 42 years; his sons, Greg (Jessica) of Springfield, Colo., Glenn (Teresa) Caricato of Manhattan, Kan.; and daughter, Kathy (John) Lane, Pueblo, Colo. Bill is the grandfather of eight grandchildren, Aaron, Vincent and Sean Caricato, Shelby Thompson, Kyla and Emily Caricato, and Nicole and John Lane. Bill is the brother-in-law of Nick (Loraine) Gemma, John (Shirley) Tucci and Sylvia Caricato O'Donnell (Jim). He is also the uncle of numerous nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his parents, Sam L. and Phyllis Caricato; sisters, Kathleen Walters and Dolores Tucci; and brothers, Joe Caricato and Sam Caricato. Bill had been a firefighter-fire engineer for the City of Pueblo from 1969 to 1989, an employee of CF&I from 1959 to 1969, and served in the U.S. Navy on the Saratoga from 1955 to 1959. Bill loved football, baseball and bowling; and proved himself as outstanding in all three. As a spectator, he enjoyed most sports and was an avid NASCAR fan. While a Pueblo resident, Bill and his wife were members of Holy Family Parish. Upon their move to Penrose, they joined St. Benedict's Church in Florence, Colo. Bill's warm smile and unique sense of humor touched the lives and hearts of family, friends and day-to-day acquaintances. Bill also seemed to sense the nobleness of God's creatures - both wild and domesticated - and they became his avocation. Whether bird, cat, horse or dog, each lingered near him while he talked to them, won their confidence, and then took care of them. In July of 2000, Bill was diagnosed with cancer. Throughout his long battle against this relentless disease, friends, loved ones, and all who came into his life witnessed Bill's strength as a strong fighter, the power of his persistence and endurance, and the meaning of courage. Most importantly, Bill found both strength in the power of prayer and peace through the promise of his Savior's redeeming grace. Bill will be missed by many, but never forgotten. Viewing, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. Monday, at the funeral home. Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, at Our Lady of the Meadows in Pueblo.

Somehow we know in heaven, you must still be at the window, looking hopefully for all of us, when we will all be home. For the warm and special way you provided all for us, and for the faith and love that started with our God above. You showed us how to love the Lord and make the family glad. For, we know to “kiss and make up” was just one of your ways. We learned the ABC's of life from you, our dear mother, but most of all you taught us just how to care and love. We've raised families of our own just the way you would have done. You and Papa meant so much to us and we cherish the sweet memories of days gone by.
