Donna Marie Perreault, 71, of Haverhill, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 28,at Fairhaven Nursing Home, Lowell.
Born in Haverhill Nov. 11, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Henry Russell Perreault and Zemira (Cordischi) Perreault and was a graduate of Haverhill High School.
For many years, Perreault worked at Gillette in the Andover plant as a quality control inspector. She had a true appreciation for the world around her, which was reflected in the antiques, sports cards, cars, figurines, music, friends and stories she collected while yard sailing on weekends and AOL Instant Messaging with new people across the country. She also enjoyed her time at home with her cat Champagne where she could be found gardening, cooking or playing games on the computer.
Perreault’s spirit will live on in the fond memories she shared with her son, Brian, in their adventures for antique treasures.
She was predeceased by her brother, Daniel Perreault and brother-in-law, John Raymond. She is survived by her son, Brian Ramsdell and wife Cassandra; granddaughter, Karly; sister, Eleanor Raymond; sister-in-law, Barbara Perreault, all of Haverhill, along with several nieces and nephews, extended family and dear friends.
