Edmund Angelo Cardoni

Edmund Angelo Cardoni, 79, passed away suddenly on Saturday evening, January 17, 2026.

Ed was born on November 16, 1946, to the late Attilio and Edith (Bartolomei) Cardoni in Plains, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Plains Memorial High School and went on to study Education at King’s College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree. He later received multiple Master’s degrees in Education from Loyola University Maryland.

Ed moved to Maryland and began his teaching career at the Maryland Hickey School. He was later employed by Baltimore County Public Schools, where he dedicated 44 years as an educator before retiring. Over the years, Ed taught at Old Court Middle School, Stemmers Run Middle School, Middle River Middle School, Chesapeake High School, and retired from Patapsco High School.

In addition to his teaching career, Ed enjoyed working side jobs in the pizza business and once owned his own pizza shop in the heart of Fells Point.

During his active years, you could always find Ed with his family, volunteering at school, church, recreational sports, and scouting events. He cherished his adventures as the Boy Scout troop cook, spending meaningful time with his three sons. He was a longtime member and lector at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.

Ed had a great love for Baltimore Orioles baseball and Baltimore Ravens football, as well as golf, cooking, and watching Jeopardy!. He often amazed family and friends with his remarkable ability to answer questions across countless categories.

In his retirement years, Ed enjoyed family dinners, crossword puzzles, watching his grandson Presley, and walking their dog, Bingo. He treasured quiet evenings watching television and cherished phone calls from family and friends and was anxiously awaiting the birth of his second granddaughter, Gianna Lucia Cardoni.

Ed was predeceased by his mother, Edith (Bartolomei) Cardoni; his father, Attilio Cardoni; his brother, Richard Cardoni; and his grandson, Carter Angelo Cardoni.

He is survived by his wife, Teena Cardoni; his daughter, Nicole Cardoni-Serio and her husband, Salvatore, of Middle River, MD; his three sons, Luke Cardoni and his wife Lauren (Ambielli) of Woodinville, WA; Vince Cardoni and his fiancé Lydia Jutila of Essex, MD; and Gino Cardoni of London, England; his two grandchildren, Alyssa Cardoni and Presley Serio of Middle River, MD; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family living in Kentucky, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Oregon.

His sudden death has left a huge hole in the lives of his family. He will be missed beyond what any words can explain. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Ed’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, an organization Ed felt strongly about.
