Obituary for Marie Lucy Cardinal
After a long illness, Marie Cardinal died peacefully in her sleep on Friday, September 27, 2019. Born Marie Antoinette Minichino to Michael and Pauline Minichino in Brooklyn, New York on December 13, 1939, she was the eldest of 3 children. Marie married Robert Cardinal (1933-2009) in January 1960, and together they had 4 children. They moved to Virginia in December 1976.
Marie worked for 17 years as a Vice President of Human Resources for Time Life, Inc. After retiring, she was very active in her community. In her Regency at Dominion Valley neighborhood, she was a member of the Regency Cancer Support Group; a co-organizer of the annual Talent Show; a Women’s Club participant; and an enthusiastic member of the Book Club.
