HAVERHILL \u2013 Cheryl Ann DeMatteo, 60, died on June 13, 2022, at Massachusetts General Hospital due to complications from a tragic automobile accident.<\/p>\n
Cheryl was born in Haverhill, the daughter of the late Shirley (Paradis) DeMatteo and late Richard E. DeMatteo. Cheryl was educated in the Haverhill Public Schools.<\/p>\n
Cheryl was a free spirit and wild child who lived her life, her way. Never would you find Cheryl without a giant smile, spunky attitude, fearless disposition, and thoughtful nature. At her core was a heart bigger than her personality and her value of sentimental memories defined her existence. Selfless and genuine, her constant handmade gifts and heartfelt trinkets brought the true meaning of love and gratitude to every life she touched. She will be sorely missed for her larger-than-life energy and her deep sincerity, from which she never wavered.<\/p>\n
Cheryl is survived by her sister Dianne (Punky) M. DeMatteo and her long-time partner Bruce Lewis of New Bedford, MA; brother Richard D. DeMatteo and his long-time partner Barbara Nolan of Haverhill, MA; sister Maryann and her husband Richard F. Adams of Manchester, NH; as well as three nieces Taryn Marie “Angel” Adams, Jaimie (DeMatteo) Giarrusso, and Jessica (DeMatteo) Cyr; great niece \u00a0Alyssa, and great nephew, Giovanni; as well as her sister-in-law and dearest friend, Judy (DeMatteo) Giannone. She was also the beloved sister of the late David M. DeMatteo and adoring aunt of the late Mindy Marie Lagasse.<\/p>\n
