Analiya M

Carino

Analiya Michelle Cariño better known as "Chi Chi" took her last breath here on earth in her father's arms and transitioned to her Heavenly Father's arms on July 2, 2022. This was after a six-month battle with a cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma.

Chi Chi was born to her parents Caroline and Fernando Cariño on January 11, 2019. She was a special one – known to her family as a bit on the reserved side but quick to stand up to any form of injustice, even at the tender age of 3. She was extremely curious, daring and adventurous. She always kept her parents on their toes. Her favorite activities included making slime, cooking, baking, and being with her sister, Hannah. One thing she absolutely adored was being in the water, especially the ocean. Oh, and we cannot forget to mention the love for her teddy bears, especially her favorite, Raspberry.

She attended Les Enfants preschool and was a member of the Children's ministry at Covenant Church of the Heights.

Chi Chi is survived by her adoring parents, Caroline and Fernando, her older sister Hannah Ariel "Hannay" and her little brother Nathaniel "Pito." Please join our family in remembering Chi Chi's beautiful and impactful life. Viewing will be on Thursday July 7 from 4-8pm at Macagna Funeral Home in Cliffside Park, NJ.

PLEASE HELP US HONOR OUR DAUGHTER THAT DAY BY WEARING SOME SORT OF PINK OR PURPLE (HER FAVORITE COLORS). IT CAN BE SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A HAIRTIE OR SOCKS, OR EVEN A STICKER. IT COULD BE AS CREATIVE OR ELABORATE AS POSSIBLE – THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE HERE ON EARTH!

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made to The Mary Ruchalski Foundation at 28 Bulson Rd Rockville Centre, NY 11570 or Venmo the foundation directly: @themaryruchalskifoundation. This organization supports families of children with rhabdomyosarcoma as well as raising awareness of this awful cancer.
