In Loving Memory of Paula Cleo Cardosi

“

She made life an adventure every day, and we were all just along for the ride with Cleo!!

Paula Cleo Cardosi passed away at the age of 59, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Cleo was a devoted wife whose greatest joy was sharing life with the woman she loved, Stephenie; their bond was built on love, friendship, and unwavering commitment, creating a lifetime of cherished moments together.

Known for her gift of storytelling, Paula could captivate any room with her humor, wisdom, and colorful tales. Whether recounting an old adventure or sharing a family memory, she had a way of bringing people together and making them feel at home.Cleo found freedom and happiness on the open road, riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a spirit of adventure and independence that inspired those around her. She also expressed her love through cooking, filling her home with delicious meals and creating lasting memories around the table.

Above all else, Cleo loved her family. She was a proud and devoted mother to her children, Christy Smith (Michie Smith), Skylar Cardosi (ShawnRivera), Thomas Cardosi, Dominic Williams-Cardosi and her late son, C.J. Cardosi. Her love, guidance, and unwavering support shaped their lives and will continue to live on in their hearts. She treasured every moment spent with her children and took great pride in the people they became. One of Cleo's greatest blessings is her grandchildren, aka "Grandgummy", Caleb, Carson, Trae, Jaelyn and Joseph! She was so proud to be their Grandgummy, and spent as much time as possible with them.

Cleo will be remembered for living life by her own rules, unapologetically, tenacious spirit and her fiercely love she showed to those she loved. She made life an adventure every day, and we were all just along for the ride with Cleo! Though she is deeply missed, the stories she shared, the meals she prepared, the miles she rode and the love she gave will remain with all who knew her. Cleo will always and forever be in our heart!

May her memory be a blessing and a source of comfort to those who loved her.

There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date in Texas!
