Gina Maré Saint Cloud FL Death: With immense sorrow and heavy hearts, we share the news that our beloved mother has taken her final breath. A beautiful soul has departed from this earth, and though her physical presence is no longer with us, her light and love will forever remain etched in our hearts.
We mourn her loss deeply and kindly ask for your continued prayers, love, and support during this devastating time. As we navigate through this profound grief, we will share funeral arrangements once they are finalized so those who loved her can gather to honor her extraordinary life.
Our mother was so much more than the titles she held. Yes, she was a Risk Manager at Menzies Aviation, a dedicated and capable professional respected by colleagues and admired for her diligence, intelligence, and grace under pressure. But she was also the quiet strength behind our family—the voice of reason, the comfort in our storms, and the example we all looked to when we needed to be reminded of resilience, patience, and compassion.
She was a woman of great heart and substance. Whether she was resolving complex challenges at work or soothing a scraped knee at home, she did it all with wisdom, calm, and love. Her laugh could ease tension, her hugs could melt worries, and her presence brought peace. Even in her final days, she carried herself with the same quiet dignity she was known for throughout her life.
She raised her children—Marco Maré, Stephen Naudé, Carmen Prins, and Marisa Naude—with deep love and unwavering care. She taught us the value of hard work, the importance of kindness, and the power of faith. Her values live on in us, and the lessons she gave will guide us for the rest of our days. The pain of her absence is sharp and unrelenting, but it is a testament to how deeply she was loved, and how irreplaceable she truly is.
We remember the small things—the warmth in her voice when she called us by name, the way her eyes lit up when she spoke of her grandchildren, her joy in simple things like a cup of tea, a good book, or a quiet moment in the garden. These moments, once so ordinary, now feel sacred. We will carry them with us always.
Professionally, she poured her heart into her work at Menzies Aviation, where she served as a Risk Manager with diligence, integrity, and expertise. Her colleagues respected her not only for her skills but for her kindness, her fairness, and her willingness to lift others up. She wasn’t just good at her job—she made the workplace better for everyone around her.
But it was in her roles as mother, grandmother, and friend where her legacy truly shines. She showed up for everyone. In times of celebration and sorrow, in triumphs and trials, she was the one we leaned on. Her love was steady and unconditional, a rare gift that shaped every one of us.
As we say goodbye, we do so with broken hearts, but also with immense gratitude. We were blessed to know her, to love her, and to be loved by her. We take comfort in knowing her suffering is over, and her spirit is now free—watching over us, guiding us, and surrounding us with the same love that sustained us through every season of life.
To Marco, Stephen, Carmen, Marisa, and the entire family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies as you grieve the loss of your beloved mother. I can only imagine the pain of saying goodbye to someone who meant so much to so many. She was a remarkable woman—full of grace, strength, and kindness—and it’s clear she left a profound impact not only on your lives but on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Her legacy lives on through each of you—in your compassion, your character, your resilience. In this time of sorrow, may you find comfort in one another, in your memories, and in the quiet knowing that her love surrounds you still. May the support of your friends and community offer strength as you move through this journey of grief.
Though the sadness is overwhelming now, I hope you will soon begin to feel the warmth of all the lives she touched, and all the love she gave so freely. Her life was a blessing, and her memory will remain a source of comfort and inspiration.
Rest Well Beloved Mother
