Suzanne “Suzy” McKenna Goldberg, 57, of Cape Coral, Florida, passed away at her home, surrounded by her loved ones, on January 18, 2026.

Suzy was born on July 3, 1968, in Silver Spring, Maryland, to Richard and Jean McKenna. Throughout her life, Suzy embraced many careers—from dancer to nail technician to ophthalmology technician—before discovering her true passion as a dedicated yogi. Although she found yoga later in life, she never let that diminish her joy for teaching the art of yoga. She went on to train others to become yoga instructors until her diagnosis prevented her from continuing to advance in her yoga career.

It was during this time that her grandchildren became the heart and soul of her life. Suzy was truly made to be a “Gigi,” as her grandchildren lovingly called her.

She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, and friend whose kindness, strength, and warmth touched everyone who knew her. Her greatest joy was her family, and she poured her heart into caring for those she loved.

Suzy is survived by her husband, Scot Goldberg; her children, Logan (Alyissa) Goldberg and Lexi (Will) Dougherty; and her cherished grandchildren, Kendra York-Taylor, Tripp Dougherty, Cash Goldberg, and McKenna Dougherty. She is also survived by her mother, Jean McKenna; her sisters, Mary Ann McKenna and Carol Tucker; and her brother, Robert McKenna.

She was preceded in death by her father, Richard McKenna Sr., and her brothers, Tony McKenna and Richard “Rick” McKenna Jr.

Those who knew Suzy will remember her for her generosity, infectious laugh, and unconditional love. Her presence brought comfort and light, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 1:00 PM Thursday January 29, 2026 at St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church, 1922 SW 20th Avenue Cape Coral, Fl 33991.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Tony McKenna Scholarship Fund at Mariner High School or to Cape Coral Hope Hospice.

Carole Linda Mitchell passed away peacefully on January 9, 2026, in Fort Myers, Florida. Born on October 2, 1951, in Bar Harbor, Maine, Linda's life was a tapestry of cherished relationships and heartfelt service. She was a devoted wife, a mother, an aunt, and a treasured friend.

Linda's journey began as the daughter of Carroll Lunt, Sr. and Roseta (Davis) Seavey. In 1986, Carole's heart found its counterpart in Samuel Mitchell, III, and together they embarked on a loving marriage that flourished for 39 years. She was a mother of two children, Stacey Dannenberg of Franklin, Maine, and a son Jeff Layne of Ellsworth, ME, grandsons Nick and Zach, great granddaughter Juniper.

Linda's brothers, Keith Seavey of Trenton, ME, and Randy (Valerie) of Ellsworth, along with her sister, Robin (Tom) of Southwest Harbor. Along with her nieces and nephews.

Linda is predeceased by her parents, brother Carroll Jr., niece Kelly Seavey and sister-in-law Brenda Seavey.

A graduate of MDI High School in 1969, Linda dedicated a significant portion of her career to caring for others as a Certified Nursing Assistant in various nursing homes. Her passion for nurturing others continued as she transitioned into the role of a cook, eventually working her way up to a dietary manager. Her ability to bring comfort through her cooking was just one of the many ways she touched the lives of those around her.

Linda's youthful spirit shone brightly when she played softball in her early years, and her love for camaraderie and community was evident in her visits with friends and her involvement with the Eagles Club. Her home was a haven not just for her family and pets but also for any stray that crossed her path, reflecting her all-encompassing love for all creatures.

She had an innate ability to make those around her feel valued, leaving a legacy of warmth. Linda’s longtime friend Gail from Trenton, ME, special friends Rachel, Lois, and all her Eagle Friends will deeply miss the shared moments that now become precious memories to hold dear.

No services have been planned at this time.

Michelle L. Cernuska (née Szymell), 57, of Cape Coral, Florida, passed away peacefully at her home on December 29, 2025, surrounded by love. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, humor, and deep devotion to her family and friends.

Michelle was born in 1968 in Chicago, Illinois, to Donald and Barbara Szymell. She graduated from Ridgewood High School in Norridge, Illinois, in 1986 and attended Triton College. Throughout her life, Michelle worked in administrative and accounting roles. She was also a business owner and later enjoyed being home to mentor and raise her brilliant son Jonathan.

In 1996, Michelle married John Cernuska. In 2004, they moved to Cape Coral, Florida, where they built their home and life together. Michelle was preceded in death by her beloved son, Christopher Cernuska; her father, Donald Szymell; her brother, David Szymell; and her father-in-law, John Cernuska.

She is survived by her loving husband, John Cernuska; her ambitious son, Jonathan Cernuska; her mother, Barbara Szymell, of Cape Coral, Florida; her mother-in-law, Fran Cernuska; her nieces, Lauren (Elvis) and Damiana; and her nephews, Daniel, Anthony, and Joseph, along with many extended family members and dear friends.

Michelle was known first and foremost for her heart. She was generous, kind, and loving in a way that made people feel truly seen and cared for. She had a sharp wit and a wonderful gift for creating funny little sayings that perfectly fit any situation, often bringing laughter and comfort to those around her. She could also be wonderfully stubborn, a trait her family remembers with affection and admiration.

To her nieces and nephews, Michelle was lovingly known as “Auntie Moo Moo,” a name that reflected the warmth, joy, and special bond she shared with them. She had a fondness for cows, a deep love of the beach, and a special appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. At Christmastime, her treasured ornaments and snowman decorations filled her home with cheer and reflected her playful spirit. Michelle adored her pets and treated them as family, just as she did the people she loved.

Above all, Michelle treasured time with her son, Jonathan. Their moments together—especially their side trips to Dunkin’ Donuts and Chick-fil-A—were among her greatest joys and will forever be held close in the hearts of those who knew how deeply she loved him.

Michelle’s presence brought comfort, light, and laughter. She will be remembered for her warmth, her humor, her fierce love, and the way she made life a little brighter simply by being herself. Though she is deeply missed, her spirit lives on in the stories shared, the smiles she inspired, and the love she gave so freely.

P.S. – In lieu of flowers, a donation to the American Heart Association in Michelle’s name would be appreciated.
