Family mourns loss of dry cleaners’ owner and spouse in Chicago-area crash that occurred in Florida
Family members have confirmed that the owner and her husband of a dry cleaning business in Edgewater, Florida were murdered in a car accident on the first day of the new year.
CHI-Town (WLS) — Earlier this month, 21 vehicles collided in Florida, killing the owner of an Edgewater dry cleaner and her husband, according to family.
Their daughter announced their passing on Facebook on January 1; they were Maribel Macedo and Armando Gomez Sanchez.
A GoFundMe page claims they were in a major accident on Florida’s Interstate 75 on New Year’s Day.
The GoFundMe Account reads :
My name is Flor, and I am kindly asking for donations for the unexpected passing of my beautiful aunt Maribel Macedo Dominguez and her wonderful husband Armando Gomez Sanchez. These donations will be given to their daughter, Isela, to cover costs. Mari (44) & Mando (51) were married on 07/11/ 2009. For their 10-year wedding anniversary, they were able to throw the wedding of their dreams. They were surrounded by all their loved ones, family, friends, members of their church, and their community. They were caring and giving, to anyone in need. They were the ones our family reached out to for advice and guidance. They gave the family step-by-step resources and were there almost every step of the way to ensure that person was given the best care and/or correct information. They were the cheerleaders of everyone’s accomplishments. They were the ones hosting larger gatherings for birthdays, and special occasions. They were godparents to a lot of children. They were always present. On December 23rd Mari and Mando, and other family took a trip down to Texas to see Mari’s mom and other extended families to celebrate Christmas. We have a family group chat, and through that, we received pictures and videos of their stay. After they left Texas on 12/27, Mari and Mando took a detour to Florida to enjoy the honeymoon they weren’t able to give themselves. We received beautiful pictures of them enjoying their time and bringing us along for their trip with videos of the views and photos of their visit. On January 3rd, Isela was given the heartbreaking news that her parents were involved in the accident of the 21-vehicle pile-up on I-75 on New Years. Due to the unexpected deaths, the donations will count toward transporting Mari and Mando from Florida to receive them back home in Chicago, all funerals and services, and the continuous medical care that Mari’s mother needs because Mari was the sole caretaker. Mari is survived by her only daughter Isela, and Mando by his 5 children. Isela is caring the heavy tasks of handling all this on her own, until Mandos children arrival. For the time being the date for their service is currently unknown due to the ongoing investigation of the accident.
According to those closest to them, the couple always had each other’s backs.
The Edgewater dry cleaner known as Isel’s was owned by Macedo.
Many locals in Edgewater will be disappointed to learn that the storefront they’ve known and loved for so long has closed and that they’re no longer taking walk-in customers.
Their daughter, Isela Macedo, described it as “tragic” and “clearly a sad loss.”
The couple, now known as Macedo and Sanchez, were in Florida for a delayed honeymoon celebration.
They were traveling from Florida back to Illinois on New Year’s Day when they got trapped in terrible weather and a 21-car accident in Florida.
The couple’s nephew, Jonathan Lopez, stated, “I will be honest, it’s heartbreaking.”
Isel’s Cleaners in Edgewater has been around for more than ten years, thanks to tailor Maribel. She was successful enough to grow, receive praise, and attract a dedicated clientele before relocating across the street to her current site.
In this establishment, regulars tend to become fast friends.
Customer Lucy Perez said, “It’s a loss for the community a tremendous loss since she went from a small spot to a big position, therefore she had a lot of clients and she was extremely adored.”
Melanie Koskamp, another satisfied client, remarked, “The clean clothes and patched clothes were just a bonus.” One customer said, “Seeing Maribel at Isel’s Cleaners was the best part of coming here.”
Isela remarked, “She has always put all of her work — her love, just all of her light into everything that she does, even every single stitch she sewed.”
“Hearing the impact from other people,” Lopez added, “the community,” or “simply those that shared a moment with her that is genuinely special right now in this moment when we need it the most.”
“Hearing everyone’s experiences and thoughts has been incredibly humbling. The thought that she and they are still with me is comforting “The addition of Isela.
What will happen with the company is a mystery. For the time being, a part-time worker is assisting clients.
The GoFundMe page has been flooded with heartfelt tributes from devoted consumers.
On Saturday, from 7 to 9 p.m., mourners can gather at 6250 N Milwaukee Avenue for a funeral ceremony. It will be available to anybody who wants to join in the celebration of the newlyweds, according to the family.
