Ann Letitia
(Mathews) Caruso, 91, of Chelmsford, MA formerly of Lynn, MA died
Friday, October 23, 2009 at the Lowell General Hospital after a long
period of failing health.
She was married to the late Joseph A. Caruso who died in
1988.
Ann was born on Oct. 3, 1918 in a tent on the grounds of the Gloucester
Hospital in Gloucester, MA during the catastrophic flu epidemic of
1918.
She was the daughter of the late Nelson H. and Clara (Burns)
Mathews. She was educated in the Lynn Public School System.
Ann worked for countless years with the Sister of the Poor in Lynn, MA
assisting the poor and disadvantaged in Lynn.
She was a devote Catholic and longtime communicant of St. Joseph's
Church in Lynn and also at St. Mary's Church in Chelmsford.
She spent much of her life advocating and caring for her handicapped
son, Michael. Her greatest joy was spending time with her
family, and she shared her love of life with them. Her inner
strength, sense of humor and compassion for others made her a wonderful
role model for everyone.
She is survived by a daughter and son-in-law, Dorothy A. and Thomas M.
Mullen of Chelmsford, MA, a son, David Caruso of New York, and a
brother, David Mathews of Merrimac, MA. Ann is also survived
by nine grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews
as well as several close friends.
She was the mother of the late Michael S. Caruso of Lynn who died in
1997, and the late Joseph N. Caruso of Brunswick, ME who died in 1999.
Ann was the sister of the late Helena Sheffer of Morganfield, KY who
died earlier this year and the late Frederick Mathews of Nokomis, FL,
who died in 2008.
