Helen Dorothy Cardeccia passed away on Aug. 19 of 2021 at the great age of 102.
Born to John E. Maguire and Odessa (Loper) Maguire in New Jersey on Sept. 28, 1918, she was the first of three children. She spent much of her life in Michigan before moving to Arizona. Dorothy and her husband, Pete, first lived in Lake Havasu City. After her husband’s death in 1997, Dorothy moved to Kingman in 2002 to be near her family.
Dorothy was an active member at the Kingman Kathryn Heidenreich Adult Senior Center attending events, luncheons, dinners, and the Thursday afternoon jam sessions. She loved dancing and listening to the music. Dorothy made many friends from the Senior Center. She also rode the city transit buses to and from the Center. Dorothy could tell you all the bus routes.
Dorothy was loved by many. She is survived and dearly missed by her daughter Dee and husband Will, her son Peter and wife Debbie, four grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, and many extended family members.
Rest in peace, Dorothy.
Your loving family misses you.
Dorothy was beloved to all who rode the KART bus system along with her. She was an amazing woman. Her smile will be surely missed.
