Cibele Marchis, 28, and her mother, Maria Elisabete Nogueira, 56, faced devastating cancer diagnoses before dying just hours apart in Brazil. Cibele passed away in Mogi Gua\u00e7u, S\u00e3o Paulo, at 4 p.m. on September 24, 2026, after battling a rare form of adrenal cancer. Her mother died approximately 10 hours later, at around 2 a.m. on September 25, while receiving treatment at another hospital. Their family has since revealed an especially heartbreaking detail about their final days: both women had asked relatives not to tell them if the other died while they were separated. According to Cibele\u2019s cousin, Rowilson Leandro da Costa, the mother and daughter had discussed the possibility of one of them passing away first and did not want to experience the pain of knowing the other had died. As a result, Maria never learned that her daughter had passed away before her own death. The loss left Cibele\u2019s father grieving both his daughter and his wife within the space of a single night. \u201cHe lost his family,\u201d Rowilson said, describing how difficult it was for him to return home to an empty house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cibele had previously shared details of her illness online, explaining that she was diagnosed with a rare adrenal cancer after doctors discovered a 10-centimeter tumor that had already affected her kidney. She said reaching the diagnosis had been a long and frustrating process because earlier tests had failed to explain why she felt something was wrong. A kidney-related pain eventually led to a CT scan, which revealed the tumor. About a year after Cibele\u2019s diagnosis, Maria was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Although details about her treatment have not been widely reported, the two women ultimately endured their illnesses during the same difficult period. Despite spending their final hours in separate hospitals, they were brought together once more after their deaths. Local reports say their funerals were held in the same ceremony, allowing their family and loved ones to mourn them together. Their story has touched many people because of the extraordinary timing of their deaths and the poignant request they made before passing away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
