It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved grandmother, Alma Hardcastle-Cardoza, at the age of 84. She passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her Grandsons on February 12, 2024. Born on September 12, 1939, Alma was born into a large family, and had many brothers and sisters. She loved her family and spent a lot of time taking care of them growing up. She was a great sister, friend, and someone anybody would be lucky to say that they knew. Growing up, she enjoyed dancing and listening to Elvis Presley, she was one of his biggest original fans. She met her husband Louie Cardoza, early on, and quickly became his biggest supporter and fan too. Alma said Louie was her forever love.
A devoted wife to her husband, Louie Cardoza, for many years. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Her daughters, Jacki and Kelly Cardoza, were the light of her life, and she always put their needs above her own. Alma Hardcastle-Cardoza had a zest for life and a passion for adventure. She loved traveling to new places, playing bingo, indulging in good food, enjoying Diet Coke, and spending time with her grandchildren. She had a heart of gold and would go above and beyond to help anyone in need. Her selflessness, humility, and genuine kindness touched the lives of all who knew her. Alma Hardcastle-Cardoza spoke fondly of her early years with her soulmate, Louie Cardoza, and their deep connection was evident to all who knew them. Their beautiful marriage was a shining example of love and devotion. Alma Hardcastle-Cardoza will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but her memory will live on in our hearts forever, and her grandchildren will keep her memory alive.

Alma was my Aunt .She was my Mothers baby sister. I have so many memories of times spent with her including the last few years I helped her cope with life. I will never be sorry for that time we spent together. Though times in the last few weeks of life we had to face. But she´s now home free from worries and pain . The decisions are yours now Aunt Alma. I will always cherish you...RIP now in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Love Brenda
