Mrs. Deolinda A. Cadero Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

ATTLEBORO - Deolinda A. Cadero, lifelong resident of Attleboro, MA passed away peacefully in her sleep with family by her side on Saturday August 26, 2017. An avid reader, lover of the Public Library, seamstress, faithful member of the Women's Guild, active member of the former Holy Ghost Parish; Deolinda was a gifted gardener who was known to be able to grow a flower out of cement. In fact, everything Deolinda touched with her hands instantly took on a magical quality. Whether it be enjoying the saltwater breeze on the shores of Falmouth, MA or Bristol, RI digging for clams, cooking a recipe from her late mother Seraphina Estrella's cookbook, or effortlessly gliding her sewing needles up and under one of the many afghans she made for family and friends- Deolinda's very touch and presence in this world, was nothing short of ethereal. Although her jobs varied throughout her lifetime and her accomplishments were many, Deolinda's greatest joy, pride, and love of her life was deeply rooted in her familial relationships. A dedicated daughter to the late Seraphina and Cazemiro Estrella, a dedicated wife to the late James H. Cadero, loving mother to the late James J. Cadero, loving sister to her late siblings Virginia, Mary, Rose and brother Joe. Deolinda's legacy lives on in the lives of her surviving family members. She is survived by her brother John Estrella of Kansas. She is also survived by her children Michael Cadero, Gloria Chiapetta, Patricia Kettle, Richard Cadero, and Linda Cadero. Deolinda was also a grandmother who adored, loved, and is survived by her grandchildren Nikki Kettle, Cindy Chiapetta, Kristi Kettle, Gloria Lumbra, and Jesse LaValley. In addition, our dear Deolinda was also an adoring great-grandmother to Brady Kettle and Emily Kurbiec.
