Patricia “Pat” Ann (Cardoza) DiMaro, 83, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on November 14, 2025.
Pat was born and raised in the Edgeworth section of Malden in the same house that would later become the heart of her own family, creating decades of memories under the same roof.
Pat is survived by her son, Michael DiMaro, and her daughter-in-law, Kim DiMaro; and her grandchildren, Krystiana, Zachary, and Kylie DiMaro, and Ryan Cerrato.
Pat was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 40 years, Enrico DiMaro; her parents, Manuel and Mary Cardoza; and her son, Christopher DiMaro.
Pat worked for many years in photography, beginning her career at Hunt’s Photo and Video and later retiring from Ultra Color Lab. After retirement, she devoted herself to her family, spending cherished time with her grandchildren and playing a vital role in their upbringing.
Pat had a lifelong love of collecting snowman-themed treasures, filling her home with pieces that brought her joy year-round. She also loved taking road trips throughout New England—especially in the fall—where she delighted in exploring small towns, country roads, and the brilliant foliage each season brought.
