Marichu Macazo was a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter, and friend. She departed this life and gained her angel wings on August 16, 2022. She was 45 years old.

She was born on March 1, 1977, to Marylou and Rudy Esguerra. Her childhood was spent in Agana, Guam, where she attended Mt. Carmel Catholic School, and had several academic achievements, such as: honor roll student and perfect attendance. During her childhood, she became a lifeguard, learned to dance hula, and played the piano. After spending her early childhood in Guam, she relocated to Bremerton, Washington. Here, she attended Olympic High School, obtained her driver’s license, and worked at Subway.

After graduating high school, she met and married her husband, Romeo. Upon residing in Bremerton, WA, they welcomed four children: Julia, Christian, Ryan and Jonathan - they were the light of her life. Despite being a “working mom”, she made sure she never missed a football game or dance recital. In addition to working full-time at Wal-Mart, Marichu graduated from Everest in 2009 with a degree in Medical Billing. In August 2020, Marichu retired from Wal-Mart after 20 years of employment.

When she is not at work, Marichu loved to go on adventures with her friends and family. She has been to Seattle, Hawaii, California, Las Vegas, Arizona, New York, Washington D.C, Virginia, Canada, and the Philippines. She also loved to cook, creating delicious meals for family and friends.

In 2014, Marichu was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, where she underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Over the years, she had many medical appointments, taken numerous medications, and undergone several treatments. As a result, the aggressive cancer metastasized throughout her body.

Marichu battled cancer for eight years; While the cancer may have conquered her body, her mind, and spirit still lives with us and continues to stay strong.

Marichu was a giving, caring, and selfless soul, who was a hard-worker, and a resilient figure in the face of adversity. She touched the lives of so many people in such a short amount of time; she was able to accomplish much before her untimely passing. Marichu represented the good that we need every day in our lives. She was one of a select few who could rise to meet challenges with a smile.

She will forever be in our hearts and missed very much every day.

May She Rest In Peace.
