Lisa Ann Hunter, 59, of North Andover, Massachusetts, died Tuesday May 31,2022 at her home in North Andover surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts July 31,1962 to Albert and Jeannette (Schroeder) Dean.

Lisa was a 1980 graduate of Pittsfield High School and had lengthy stops in Port Salerno, FL and Allen, TX. She was passionate about her family and close friends and treasured her quality time with them. Traveling and a day at the beach were her idea of time well spent. Crafting and working on memory projects were a special treat for her and she couldn't pass by a Chico's without stopping in to see if she was missing something. Lisa loved her work as the office secretary at North Andover Middle School and held many of her co-workers as close friends.

Lisa is survived by her husband, Paul; daughters, Corinne and Paige; son, Derek; sister, Vicky Kolodziej (Fran); brothers, Carl Dean (Angela) and Jeff Dean (Lisa); and several nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. She was predeceased by her Mom and Dad; sisters, Connie Ewing and Christie Grien; brother, Craig Dean; and her beloved chocolate lab, Tripper.

It was a privilege to know my dear cousin Lisa Ann Dean Hunter.
Her father, Albert George "Laddie" Dean, and my father Roger William Dean were brothers. . . . they were as close as brothers could be, and that bond was the foundation for the many family gatherings we were blessed to have beginning in the 1960s when Lisa and I arrived on the scene, to the present.
Every "reunion" with Lisa - whether we hadn´t seen each other in several months or several years, or whether we just texted or messaged a bit; it brought back those good old days instantly; and I always wanted to talk with her more; there was never enough time; we would laugh and chat; her laugh was the absolute best; genuine, deep, sincere. . .
We were brought together by our blood relation, born a little less than seven months apart, I the "elder" and she the "younger" . . . but I was blessed to have her as a life-long sounding board. . . and I joke that I was the elder, and she was the younger, as I learned so much from her. She always, always, always gave people the benefit of the doubt, she easily found a more empathetic way to look at something, and I strive to do the same from her example.
I will dearly miss being able to talk with my beautiful cousin about our Moms. . . we would gravitate to that at some point at every event; we loved our Moms and we loved each other´s Moms. . . and we both had our Moms for about the same time in our lives; her Mom passing far too young at the age of 61, when Lisa was a young mother of 36, and my Mom passing similarly far too young at the age of 59, when I was a young mother of 35.
Sharing our stories and challenging our memories. . . it was always easy and I could listen to Lisa for days. . . I never tired of her reminiscing and comparing today´s youth and world to ours. . . "Our kids don´t know how lucky they are" she would often say. . .
I will miss her sincerely and dearly; and though I know she is in a better place, and I find some comfort thinking that she is with her Mom and Dad, Connie Christie and Craig, and my Mom and Dad (where she is perhaps getting talked into an 8 handed game of pitch or better yet a two table tournament). . . we are left with her loss here today . . .
My heart breaks for all of you, Paul, Corinne, Paige, Derek, Carl, Vicky and Jeff and all of your families. I know that one of the brightest lights in your world, indeed has gone dark and your grief will be deep and profound. I know there are no words to take away the pain, and I pray that time will lessen your burden. . .

Typing through my tears, I would like to share with anyone reading this, how much I loved and am going to miss my 1st cousin Lisa Ann Dean Hunter. Lisa was so FUN and easy to talk with and be around! She listened intently and was always engaging! ALWAYS Smiling & laughing, how could anyone not just LOVE HER!!! Always had a positive mental attitude. I can't believe I won't be able to talk with her anymore. I loved exchanging messages and pictures with her. Growing up back in the 70s, one Summer our families lived under the same roof, while a house was being made ready for one of our families. We had our 4 parents and a combined total of 10 siblings living in a 1 1/2-bathroom 4-bedroom house. Us kids LOVED every minute of it. Well, I know I did. I'm sure it wasn't a picnic for our parents, but they were all WONDERFUL for those shared space weeks together. I don't think any of us ever had a single argument or conflict. We just all loved being with each other. I loved that Lisa said and considered us to be bonus siblings, in addition to being 1st cousins. I was so excited for her when she told me she was going to have a crafting room in her home. I kept threatening to come live in that room. As an adult I never lived in the same proximity of Lisa & The Hunter Clan, so when we did get together it was extra special, meaningful and cherished! Our families loved to play a card game called pitch, whenever we could. Summers growing up, we had family softball games on most of the holidays. How blessed we were to be born into a family where the siblings and spouses loved each other and loved spending time together. All of us 12 1st cousins benefitted from their love! I haven't known too many families as close as ours were. I miss those days! I miss our parents and aunts and uncles & Lisa's three siblings that have departed plant Earth before her: Connie & Christie & Craig. I just know they were all there waiting to welcome Lisa HOME. Our world has lost one of its best and brightest souls. My wonderful memories of time spent together with Lisa are many and they are ALL GOOD! I LOVE YOU LISA & I AM GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH! Paul, Corinne, Derek & Paige I am so very sad and can only imagine your pain. I love you all! Pictured here are the 12 of us Dean/Decker "Kissin' Cousins" ;-) And one with our Great Grand Mother Lillie May Love. We sure were a happy & blessed bunch!
