Diane T. Caruso, 67, of Plaistow, NH, passed away on Sunday, February 12, 2023 at the High Pointe Hospice in Haverhill with loving family by her side.
Born in Methuen on April 23, 1955, she was the daughter of the late G. Thomas and Shirley (Solari) Caruso and a 1973 graduate of Haverhill High School.
Diane was retired from Home Health VNA where she worked in the medical records department and didn’t miss an opportunity to decorate her cubicle for holidays, birthdays and especially when the Red Sox or Patriots were in the playoffs. Diane grew up playing cards with her family and friends and in more recent years you could often find her playing in a local 45 tournament. Diane’s friendships were decades long with bonds that brought laughter, joy, companionship and mutual support.
Diane was the beloved sister of Thomas Caruso and wife Alison of Bethlehem, NH, Ronald Caruso and wife Sandy of Salem, NH, Joanna Gosselin and husband Richard of Merrimac, MA and Marianne Caruso of San Diego, CA.
She was also the cherished “Auntie Di” of Keleigh Caruso, Adam Caruso, Veronica Mailhot, Paul Caruso, Samantha Caruso, Jessica Zambrano, Joseph Reilly, Joshua Reilly, Alan Gosselin, Jacob Gariepy and Andrea Gariepy, as well as several great nieces and nephews and predeceased by her nephew Blair Gosselin. She was Godmother to Casey Asprogiannis, Jay Silva and Micael DeFusco. She enjoyed the dual role of auntie and godmother to Jacob, Veronica and Adam. Di loved to spoil her nieces, nephews and godchildren taking them on many different adventures near and far. She enjoyed special relationships with many of her cousins.
Family and friends are respectfully invited to attend calling hours in the Kevin B Comeau Funeral Home, 486 Main St, Haverhill on Saturday, February 18, from 11:00-1:00 PM followed by a Memorial Service in the funeral home at 1:00 PM. As Diane was a lifelong New England sports teams fan, the family would like to welcome anyone to wear their local team attire. Please visit Comeau Funeral Home on Facebook or www.comeaufuneral.com

February 15, 2023 at 2:20 pmI knew Diane only for a short time but she made my workday brighter, we talked sports and had many laughs. She was a kind and generous fun loving person and my life is better for knowing her. May her memory always be a blessing.

February 15, 2023 at 6:02 pmI thought of you all through the super bowl game on Sunday, and was hoping that you would be watching it to. I can see you and Jack joking around he really enjoyed you especially because of your love for all sports. To her family just want you to know how special you were to her she spoke about each and everyone of you and the holiday gatherings and all the cooking with your mom to get ready quite often. I will miss her and have a great picture of her standing in her cubicle with it all decorated for the patriots and she was also all dressed up from head to toe. Great memories here at work. Thankful for your friendship.

February 15, 2023 at 11:33 pmSending thoughts and prayers to Diane’s family. I know your will miss her very much but her memories will live on in your hearts and minds. I have great memories of knowing and working with her at the VNA for many years. We had great conversations and lots of laughter- doing lunch orders from the Daily Dose- sharing family stories- and of course sports teams were always a highlight- Bruins, Red Sox, New England Patriots and the Celtics- and certainly there were favorite players on each team! She loved decorating her work area and wearing the team shirts and hats- and everyone loved to stop by and see her and the great decorations- a true fan! So happy to have known Diane……..:)
